'Burnley just a warm-up' Millwall boss makes Leeds United claim as players given orders

Millwall are licking their lips in anticipation of hosting Leeds United this week, with the Lions boss Neil Harris making a statement that underlines the excitement for the game. Having beaten Burnley on Sunday afternoon to deny the Clarets the chance of going above Leeds into second in the Championship table, Millwall are ready to make it a memorable few days by gaining the same result when the Whites come to south London on Wednesday evening.

A third successive with for Millwall lifted the club to seventh in the standings and they could be inside the play-off places by beating Leeds this week. It's a massive match for the club, which Harris readily admits.

Speaking after the win against Burnley at The Den, the Millwall boss said that game was a warm-up for the arrival of Daniel Farke's side.

"We know the atmosphere is going to be electric. We told the players: ‘This is your warm up for Wednesday. Enjoy it, don’t live off it. We’re back in the training ground tomorrow preparing for Wednesday’."

Leeds ran out 3-0 winners on their last visit to The Den, but will find Millwall a tough nut to crack on Wednesday evening with the side enjoying a five-match unbeaten sequence that has propelled them up the league ladder. With three wins from their last four games, Leeds are in equally impressive form and will hope to build on their 3-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle by claiming a win which could lift them to the top of the Championship table depending on Sunderland's result.
