Queens Park Rangers will be looking to draw level on points with Millwall when the London rivals meet at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium on Wednesday evening.
The visitors beat Derby County 1-0 on Saturday to move three points in front of QPR, who lost 1-0 at home to Huddersfield Town on the same day.

QPR hit a great run of form between the turn of the year and the end of February, but they have now lost three of their last five games, two of those at home.
Juninho Bacuna scored the only goal in Saturday's clash with lowly Huddersfield - a result that leaves Mark Warburton's side 13th in the table.
The Rs are 15 points off the playoffs and 14 points above the relegation zone, meaning that they are now effectively jostling for position in midtable.
Millwall just about still have something to play for between now and they end of the campaign, as they are 12 points off the top six with 30 more points to play for.
Realistically, though, Gary Rowett will know that promotion is not attainable this season, with a top-half finish now the likely target.

The Lions' form has been rather patchy of late, although they did beat Derby last time out through a Shaun Hutchinson header on the brink of half time at Pride Park.
Millwall have now lost just one of their last six away matches and have the sixth best record on their travels in the division.
For comparison, the Lions' 27 points from 18 away games is two more than QPR have managed from the same number of home matches.
However, not since October have they won successive away league games, while QPR have lost back-to-back games only twice this campaign.
This is a fixture the Rs tend to do well in, meanwhile, having gone unbeaten in eight home league matches against Millwall, winning each of their last two.

QPR are without Luke Amos and Tom Carroll for Wednesday's contest, the injured pair having missed five and two moths respectively.
Jordy de Wijs was on the bench against Huddersfield but is in contention to return here in place of Osman Kakay.
In terms of other possible changes, Lyndon Dykes, Albert Adomah and Macauley Bonne will also be pushing for recalls to the side.
Millwall have wing-back Scott Malone back in contention for this contest, meanwhile, after being ineligible for the clash with parent club Derby.
George Evans started that most recent game in midfield but may shift into the backline here, with Alex Pearce at risk of dropping out of the XI.
Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, a late substitute at Pride Park, will be hopeful of forcing his way back into the side.
Queens Park Rangers possible starting lineup:
Dieng; Barbet, Dickie, De Wijs; Kane, Johansen, Field, Wallace; Chair, Willock; Austin
Millwall possible starting lineup:
Bialkowski; Evans, Hutchinson, Cooper; Romeo, Thompson, Woods, Malone; Wallace, Bodvarsson, Bennett
We say: Queens Park Rangers 1-1 Millwall
This is a London derby between two sides with little to play for on the face of it, even if Millwall do still have an outside chance of making the playoffs.
The Lions have impressed on their travels this season and enter the game on the back of a win, but manager Rowett has never won away at QPR in the Championship in four attempts.
Ultimately, this is likely to be one of those contests where the sides cancel each other out and claim a point apiece.
