Millwall have appealed to the Football League to delay announcing the outcome of Leeds United's appeal against their 15-point deduction until after Saturday's game between the two sides.

Lions officials fear that there could be trouble at the match if the result of the appeal is confirmed this week.

Leeds argue that the League acted outside its jurisdiction in imposing the points deduction in the wake of the club's decision to go into administration before the end of last season.

A League spokesman said: "A matter has been raised with the Football League by Millwall.

"The League has not acted with regards to this issue as it is for the arbitration to decide on the conduct of the process."
