Millwall head into their game against Brentford this weekend off the back of a morale boosting victory over Leeds United last time out, in a win that will have lifted spirits at the club following the unexpected departure of long-time boss Neil Harris earlier in the month. 

With the club still searching for a replacement for their former manger, the Lions are currently being guided by caretaker boss Adam Barrett, who will no doubt be seeking to make it two wins from two during his time in charge, when the Championship returns after the international break this weekend.

The Lions take on a Brentford side who have also had a testing season under the stewardship of Thomas Frank, with the Dane having seen his side score on just nine occasions this season, putting them in the lowly position of 17th at the time of writing.

With that in mind, we take a look at TWO ways that Millwall can hurt Brentford in this weekend's London derby....

Take advantage of set pieces 

Millwall's Matt Smith celebrates after he scores his sides first goal during the Sky Bet Championship match at The Hawthorns, West Bromwich.

One way that Millwall can really hurt Brentford is by taking advantage of set piece situations, as the Bees will most likely dominate possession for long spells of the game, due to their possession based style of play which has been implemented by Frank this season.

Barrett should look to get as many aerial threats into the box for set pieces as much as possible, as this will cause havoc for the Brentford backline if the delivery into the box is of a good standard.

The likes of Millwall's Jake Cooper and Matt Smith are well known for their aerial prowess, plus Barrett can also call upon the services of Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, if he wants his side to play even more direct from open play.

Exploit the flanks

Millwall should also seek to exploit the flanks against Brentford, with the Bees having been guilty of leaving too much space open to the opposition in recent games, which is due to their full back's pushing up too high when on the attack, thus leaving space in behind.

Barrett should ask Messrs Jed Wallace and Shane Ferguson to stay high and wide, as this will allow them to exploit the space which will inevitably become available when Brentford's full-backs, Rico Henry and Henrik Dalsgaard push forward up the pitch.

Lastly, in addition to this, Millwall's fullbacks, Mahlon Romeo and Murray Wallace, should seek to get on the overlap when their side is on the attack, as this will create an overload out wide, which should, in theory, create better opportunities to whip in dangerous crosses into the box.
