0' The wait is over. Millwall FC get us underway at The Den.
5' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
10' Aaron Connolly is having a superb {COMPETITION} campaign — that is 0 goals this season for the .
15' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
20' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
25' A quiet spell here at The Den. Millwall FC seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
30' The 31-year-old Luke O'Nien has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.

40' Millwall FC are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
45' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
46' A change in the Millwall FC ranks — George Honeyman exits the field as Tom Bradshaw enters on 46.
51' Supporters expect more eagerness from Romain Esse, as he is very good at scoring at The Den with 2 goals in the last 2 games.
56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Eliezer Mayenda suffering a number of foals already.
58' Milan Aleksic has so much to prove this time. He replaces Aaron Connolly on 58 minute.

77' A meaty challenge results in booking for Milan Aleksic on 77.
77' Mihailo Ivanovic gets the nod from Millwall FC. He replaces Josh Coburn and will look to change the dynamic.
82' Millwall FC are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Sunderland AFC backline.
86' That is a card for Millwall FC. Romain Esse will be fuming at that decision.
87' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Chris Mepham on 87 minutes.
89' Macaulay Langstaff gets the nod from Millwall FC. He replaces George Saville and will look to change the dynamic.
