Millwall’s top
goalscorer in 2022/23
has struggled to match
his numbers from last
season, but remains
a constant threat in
the Lions’ attack. The
31-year-old ended last
term with 16 league
goals to his name but
so far this has managed
to hit the back of the
net on two occasions,
although the forward
has contributed three
assists to bring up
his overall seasonal
numbers.
Scottish stalwart
Murray Wallace has
been an almost everpresent
for the Lions
this season, sitting out
just once match across
the competitions. The
versatile defender
has also appeared in
a variety of positions,
from central defence
to the left side of
midfield, Wallace’s
contribution has been
important to the Lions.
Matija Šarkić makes his
first return to the bet365
Stadium this afternoon
since his loan spell with
the Potters in the second
half of last season. The
stopper joined the
Lions on a permanent
transfer from Wolves
in the summer transfer
window and was initially
No. 1 at The Den before
injury ruled him out for
a number of weeks. The
26-year-old has returned
between the sticks in
recent weeks.
#23 | george saville
POS: mf | AGE: 30
Another consistent
name on the Millwall
team sheet is that
of George Saville.
The Northern Irish
midfielder has made 20
appearances in Millwall
blue this season
contributing two goals
and one assist to the
cause, with his last
strike for the Lions
coming in Joe Edwards’
first match in charge
of the South London
side as they dismantled
Sheffield Wednesday
by four goals to nil at
Hillsborough.
