Rivals West Ham don't want to play us in the Carling Cup, Millwall gloat

League One Millwall are in relishing their forthcoming Carling Cup second round clash with West Ham after being drawn against their fierce London rivals. Security concerns were instantly raised following Wednesday's draw with both sets of fans noted for their notorious hatred towards each other. Policing plans are already well underway for the Upton Park game with ticket news being delayed until both clubs receive final confirmation from the authorities. But Millwall managing director Andy Ambler is confident the tie will be problem-free, despite previous trouble between the two clubs. He said: 'We have a very experienced security team who are used to staging these sorts of games and we will make sure [with West Ham] the match passes off with as little disruption to fans and the community as possible.' The Hammers have not beat Millwall since 1991 with Lions fans still smarting over their 4-1 victory over West Ham five years ago in the Championship, courtesy of a Tim Cahill double. And Ambler upped the ante, admitting he expects Gianfranco Zola's men will not be as motivated as Kenny Jackett's underdogs. He added: 'We are looking forward to the squad showing off what they can do though our players will be looking forward to it more than their's will. 'This is a chance for our emerging side to test themselves against Premier League opposition.'
