Defender Morgan Fox could feature for Sheffield Wednesday at home to Millwall on Wednesday night.

Fox (back) comes into contention for Jos Luhukay's side, who will be without defender Joost van Aken with an ankle problem.

Lucas Joao (groin) is not yet ready to return, while Kieran Lee, Almen Abdi and Gary Hooper are also absent. Wednesday goalkeeper Keiren Westwood has not been named in the matchday squad so far this season.

Millwall are expected to continue with the same side which earned a first win of the season. Saturday's 2-1 victory over Derby maintained the Lions' unbeaten sequence, after three prior draws.

Shane Ferguson and Ryan Tunnicliffe came off the substitutes' bench against the Rams and could press for a starting place. Byron Webster returned for a competitive appearance after almost a year out with a serious knee injury in the Carabao Cup, but was not in the squad last weekend.

Prutton's prediction

With the way things are going for Wednesday at the moment, this feels like a Millwall win. Neil Harris' side showed how good they were on Saturday against Derby, even though David Nugent scored to get the Rams back into the game, but it really seems that there's some stagnation in the Owls squad; Barry Bannan the one who comes out of Sunday's game with Brentford as one of the few shining lights.

Prutton predicts: 0-2 (9/1 with Sky Bet)

Brentford 2-0 Sheffield Wed
