Millwall

New Eagles boss Iain Dowie faces a baptism of fire in the South London derby at home to Millwall on Boxing Day.

Former caretaker boss Kit Symons returns to the squad after completing his one-match suspension at Reading.

Julian Gray has recovered from his bout of flu, while Neil Shipperley has shaken off a thigh injury.

Millwall defender and former player Kevin Muscat misses out on a chance to play his old side with the second of a two-match ban.

Neil Harris should retain his place up front as Noel Whelan has had his contract terminated and Bob Peeters (calf), Paul Ifill (hernia) and Robbie Ryan (groin) are injured.
