Matchday Preview: Sat 18 Jan

Millwall vs Ipswich
Sky Bet Championship - Sat 18 Jan - 3pm

Mick McCarthy has confirmed that injured quartet Cole Skuse, Aaron Cresswell, Luke Chambers and Daryl Murphy will be available for Town's match.0 There are more concerns over Carlos Edwards (knee) and Tyrone Mings (foot) though and the pair will be assessed ahead of the trip.

New Lions boss, Ian Holloway, takes charge of his first home game at the weekend and could include former Town player Lee Martin in the squad.

Carlisle United vs Colchester
Sky Bet League One - Sat 18 Jan - 3pm

Jabo Ibehre has returned to the squad as Joe Dunne's Colchester side make the long journey north to face Carlisle United this weekend.

Jabo missed out last weekend as the U's beat Gillingham 3-0, but has returned to the squad as the team head to Brunton Park.

Also returning to the squad are Ryan Dickson and Alex Gilbey - fresh from signing his new contract - who missed the game through illness and injury respectively.

Southend v Chesterfield
Sky Bet League Two - Sat 18 Jan - 3pm

Southend could give a debut to Burnley right-back Luke O'Neill, who has joined on loan as cover for injured captain John White, as Southend prepare to welcome Chesterfield to Roots Hall ahead of the third encounter this season.

Boss Phil Brown has no new injury or suspension worries as his fifth-placed side look for the victory that would see them leapfrog their opponents.

Blues assistant manager Dave Penney felt the match is 'massive': "This is a massive game. They are just above us in the league, we've had two great games against them."

"We fully expect the players to stand up to it on Saturday. We haven't spoken about the Hull City FA Cup game next week. Our main aim is to get promotion. We're not going to win the FA Cup."

Braintree v Lincoln City
Skrill Premier - Sat 18 Jan - 3pm

Braintree are in action on Saturday as they prepare to host Lincoln City in the Skrill Premier.

Defender Sam Habergham is unlikely set to be risked due to a shoulder injury, but Dean Wells and Alan Massey will be back after being rested for the game against Harlow.

Midfielder Chez Isaac is set to be out for several weeks after picking up a knee injury against Woking last Saturday.

Manager Alan Devonshire admitted it was a close call over whether that game would go ahead because of the wetness of the pitch and the subsequent action opened up the already heavy surface.

The club have been carrying out extra drainage work this week, with a channel being dug in front of the terracing opposite the main stand.

Whitehawk v Chelmsford
Skrill South - Sat 18 Jan - 3pm

Chelmsford are back in action this weekend when they travel to Whitehawk, who are two points behind the Clarets going into the fixtures.

Whitehawk will go into the match on the back of a midweek victory over Basingstoke Town.

The Hawks beat the Clarets 2-0 in the reverse fixture last September.
