History of the Stoke City v Millwall fixture

Millwall face a trip to Stoke City at Britannia Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Lions will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 12 and win only 5 of the 22 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division One match.
