Lions without duo

Millwall head to historic derby rivals West Ham in the second round of the Carling Cup without injured duo Nadjim Abdou and Steve Morison. Midfielder Abdou has yet to recover from the hip injury which has kept him out of the last three games and striker Morison, the Lions' £130,000 summer signing from Stevenage, is out with a hamstring strain. They join long-term absentees Zak Whitbread (hip), Paul Robinson (metatarsal), Pat O'Connor (cruciate) and Danny Senda (Achilles) on the sidelines for the eagerly-anticipated clash. Winger Chris Hackett has been struggling with groin trouble but came off the bench during Friday night's goalless draw at Southend and should be available again. "It's a massive game and one we are looking forward to," said Millwall manager Kenny Jackett. "We've earned it, it's fantastic to go and play a Premier League team and if we get things right and play above our level then you never know."
