What They're Saying
Brighton & Hove Albion manager Sami Hyypia (via the Daily Mail): "The atmosphere has been very positive. It's an important game, but I don't expect anything less from the players than in any other game. Everyone has to go onto the field to do everything to help win the game."
Millwall manager Ian Holloway (via Sports Mole): "These boys have tried their socks off for me recently, but that [5-1 loss to Middlesbrough] was unrecognizable. That wasn't good enough. I do apologize to the fans, so blame me. It's not an issue. We've got to roll our sleeves up, accept responsibility and do better."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Millwall's Shaun Williams will need to remain the club's anchor in central midfield on Friday. In 18 league appearances, the 28-year-old is averaging 1.9 tackles and 2.3 interceptions.
