Millwall v Preston North End team news: Jayson Molumby starts for the Lilywhites with skipper Alan Browne ruled out

Injury ruled out Alan Browne, the skipper's place in midfield taken by Jayson Molumby who had been on the bench for the last two matches.

Molumby will feel at home at The Den having spent last season with the Lions on loan from Brighton.

Millwall saw a £1.5m bid for Molumby rejected by Brighton in January, with him instead joining North End on loan until the end of the season.

With Molumby stepping-up from the bench, there was a place among the substitutes for first-year scholar Lewis Leigh.

Leigh joined another youth-team player, Joe Rodwell-Grant, on the bench.

In Browne's absence, Greg Cunningham was handed the captain's armband.

Millwall: Bialkowski, Hutchinson, Cooper, Evans, Romeo, Mitchell, Woods, Malone, Wallace, Bennett, Bodvarsson. Subs: Williams, Thompson, Smith, Ferguson, Pearce, McNamara, Tiensia, Burey, Fielding.

PNE: Iversen, van den Berg, Storey, Hughes, Cunningham, Whiteman, Molumby, Sinclair, Potts, Gordon, Evans. Subs: Bayliss, Johnson, Rafferty, Riis, Huntington, Barkhuizen, Rodwell-Grant, Leigh, Ripley.

Referee: Keith Stroud (Hampshire)
