West Ham United v Millwall prediction

10:50am Friday 3rd February 2012 in Sport

West Ham United will be desperate to bounce back tomorrow at home to Millwall in their derby after being mauled at Ipswich.

The Hammers suffered their heaviest defeat of the season after being thrashed 5-1 by the Tractor Boys but they still remain top of the Championship.

Millwall are struggling in the league and were beaten at home to Watford midweek.

Sam Allardcye strengthened his squad this week by signing strikers Nicky Maynard and Ricardo Vaz Te alongside teenage midfielder Ravel Morrison.

It is likely the two strikers will be involved at Upton Park and their arrival will give the crowd a lift.

The Hammers need a response and I think they will get it with a 2-1 win to keep them top of the table.
