Can Millwall keep their play-off hopes alive?

Then on Easter Monday, goals from Scott Malone and then Tom Bradshaw secured a vital 2-1 home victory over Hull.

So, Gary Rowett’s side have won eight of their last 13 matches, only losing to Stoke and Swansea in this period.

This means Millwall start the weekend seventh, one point and one place below the play-off line, needing wins to leap into those top six positions.

Birmingham City meanwhile haven’t been in the Premier League since 2011, the year they also won the League Cup and, therefore, got into Europe.

These days, Blues are 20th in the Championship, thankful for Reading and Derby’s points deductions, otherwise they’d be in the bottom three.

Lee Bowyer’s men have now lost three in a row following a 6-1 drubbing at Bloomfield Road by Blackpool last time out.

The end of the season can’t come quickly enough for Birmingham.

So, will Millwall leave St Andrew’s with all three points?
