After an initial stumble, Fulham have got off to a good start to life in the Championship and will view the visit of Millwall as a winnable game.

The Lions, however, will be high on confidence after the start they have made. They remain unbeaten in all competitions and last weekend brought Sheffield Wednesday back down to earth despite playing with ten men for the majority of the match.

The same could happen to Fulham, so it is important Scott Parker keeps his squad on his toes, and he should make changes despite earning a 2-1 win over Huddersfield.

So far this season The Cottagers have been effective without particularly impressing, and their goals have been a mix of wonder strikes and fortune - with the two goals against The Terriers an example of both.

In addition, Millwall possess a different threat to what they have faced so far. They are a team full of aggression, hard work and have that physical edge, all of which are great traits to have and make them very difficult to play against.

They know what it takes to put in a back to the wall performance and if they play for a draw they are quite likely to get it, which means Fulham must compete on the same level whilst adding a bit of invention.

Fulham have quality throughout the team, but here are some changes Parker should make to his starting line-up to combat specific threats.

 

As well as he played, and despite how good it is to see young layers being given a chance, it would perhaps be unfair to start Steven Sessegnon again, particularly as he will come up against Matt Smith.

That means that Cyrus Christie should earn a recall. He is a lot more experienced but would still be able to provide an attacking threat, and keep the likes of Shane Ferguson confined to a defensive role.

Another decision Parker should make which could surprise a few is to replace Ivan Cavaleiro with Aboubakar Kamara.

Cavaleiro may have scored a wonderful winning goal on Friday, but he was mostly anonymous in the match and hasn't yet hit the heights he did at Wolves.

Kamara, as Fulham fans know too well, is a player who can blow hot and cold, but he would be better suited to the physical battle Millwall will bring and his unpredictably and direct style will unsettle their back four.

Having him in the side will open up space for his teammates, and that will be key to getting a result against Neil Harris' side, who will likely sit back and defend deep, and in doing so clutter the middle of the pitch.

Aside from that, the team should remain the same as it has done well so far, particularly the defence which is now looking assured with the permanent trio of Ream, Mawson and Bettinelli as the spine - and Arter covering in front, who has been excellent since his arrival.

It is expected to be a tight match given Millwall's style, and therefore Parker will be hopeful his key players come to the fore, with Knockaert and Cairney capable of creating something out of nowhere, and Mitrovic buzzing around the box to finish off any chances.
