Whitbread: Set to start
Having watched his side lose yet again on their travels, Millwall boss Kenny Jackett is hoping the return of Zak Whitbread from suspension will add a bit of steal to his fragile defence as they take on Huddersfield this evening.

The Lions manager opted to play left back Andy Frampton alongside Paul Robinson rather than bring back veteran war-horse Richard Shaw - fuelling rumours that the two have fallen out - but the gamble back-fired as Tranmere record their second victory over Millwall in as many months.

Fortunately for Jackett, Gillingham also lost, a result that kept The Lions out of the bottom four but the gaffer knows that he must get something from tonight's clash if his side have any hope of pulling clear of the relegation mire.

Danny Senda is also in line for a recall, having spent the last few weeks on his backside on the subs bench watching the likes of Frampton and Scott Barron start ahead of him.
