Millwall to clash with West Ham after 14‑year hiatus

Millwall and West Ham United will face each other again at The Den on Saturday, bringing the two clubs back together after a 14‑year absence from the pitch.

Their last meeting took place in the 2008–09 season, when the teams played in the Championship. Since then, the rivalry has been dormant, with the clubs competing in different divisions for most of the intervening years.

The return of this fixture is significant for both sets of supporters, who have long celebrated the fierce competition that once defined the South London derby. The match is expected to reignite the passion that has characterized the rivalry over the decades.

Both clubs are currently positioned in the Championship, making the game a key fixture in their campaign for promotion. The result could have implications for their standings as the season progresses.

Fans can expect a hard‑fought encounter at The Den, with the match scheduled for Saturday evening. The game will be a highlight of the league’s calendar and a chance to see the two sides battle for points and bragging rights.
