Predicted Lineups and Player News for Preston North End vs Millwall 28/02/26 - Championship News

By Andre Moura, FootballPredictions.NET, 08:14 27/02/2026

The Championship tie at Deepdale on Saturday sees home team Preston North End locking horns with Millwall, and we have the latest player updates plus predicted line ups available.

Preston North End head into this fixture coming off the back of a 1-1 Championship stalemate versus Swansea City. We think that The Lilywhites may well make use of the 3-5-2 system this time, beginning the first half with David Cornell, Odel Offiah, Lewis Gibson, Andrew Hughes, Pol Valentin, Alistair McCann, Ben Whiteman, Callum Lang, Andrija Vukcevic, Lewis Dobbin and Daniel Jebbison.

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just one fitness concern for the Preston North End gaffer Paul Heckingbottom to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Robbie Brady is out of contention.

How Preston North End might line up against Millwall

Millwall head into the clash following a 3-0 Championship win with the downing of Birmingham City in their last match. We reckon that The Lions appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, giving starts to Anthony Patterson, Tristan Crama, Zak Sturge, Jake Cooper, Ryan Leonard, Casper De Norre, Billy Mitchell, Macaulay Langstaff, Camiel Neghli, Femi Azeez and Josh Coburn.

Millwall boss Alex Neil has a number of players out of action. Will Smallbone (Hamstring muscle injury), Lukas Jensen (Achilles tendon rupture) and Danny McNamara (Knee surgery) are those who can’t be considered.
