Millwall vs Burnley

Burnley will be seeking back-to-back wins this evening in the Championship when they travel to take on Millwall.

The Clarets returned to winning ways over the weekend when they edged a 1-0 win on the road against Luton Town. In a tight encounter, Ashley Barnes' penalty after the break proved to be what separated the two sides.

Burnley are now 11 points clear at the top of the Championship table and 15 points ahead of Middlesbrough in third. Next up though is a challenging encounter on the road in London against the Lions this evening.
