The Lions are unbeaten in their last seven games (W4 D3), while the Black Cats are undefeated in eight (W4 D4) but have drawn three on the bounce.
Millwall have lost just one of their last seven league games against Sunderland (W2 D4) despite both scoring and conceding eight goals during that run.
Sunderland have won just one of their last 12 away league games against Millwall (D5 L6). Each of the last three such matches between the pair at the Den have finished 1-1.
Millwall have won their last three home league games, winning all three 1-0. They last won four in a row at The Den in October 2022, while they last did so with a clean sheet each time in March 2010 in League One.
Sunderland have picked up 31 points in 15 Championship games this season (W9 D4 L2), their best start to a season at this level since 1998-99 (also 31 points) when they eventually won the league.
Millwall's Casper De Norre is the only Championship player this season to make both 30+ tackles (31) and 30+ interceptions (30).
