Preceding that game was the away draw at Swansea City that finished 0-0.There will be little rest for Millwall after this match as they are travelling to Nottingham Forest for a Championship game in only three days.

Leicester City form and stats
Leicester City's mission in Carabao Cup last season failed in the 3rd round.Things could have gone better for Leicester City in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.
