Millwall desperate to make mark

Millwall are ready to turn to experience in a bid to salvage their faltering promotion challenge ahead of tonight's match at Cardiff.

Dennis Wise fielded a youthful side against Stoke on Saturday and the 1-0 home defeat left the Lions in ninth place, four points outside the play-offs.

But combative Australian defender Kevin Muscat returns to the squad after recovering from an Achilles problem and midfielder David Livermore is available again after serving a one-match ban. Peter Sweeney is also in line for a starting spot.

Millwall's poor run, which has seen them fail to score in their last Championship three games, has drained the team's confidence.

Assistant manager Ray Wilkins said: "It is imperative we win tonight if we are to revive our promotion hopes."
