Millwall boss Gary Rowett insists his team will 'respect' Reading in Saturday's clash.

The Lions have, the same as the Royals, a 100 per cet home record this season as the Den continues to be one of the toughest grounds to visit in the Championship.

Losing both, and conceding five, in their two away matches this season- Paul Ince's side will be up against it in the capital.

However, back-to-back wins, with clean sheets too, Ince felt that his team deserved more credit- something the former Stoke City and Derby County manager agrees with.

Speaking to the South London Press, Rowett said: "They are very much like us, aren’t they? When you win a game then usually it is that the other team hasn’t played well – welcome to not getting credit for anything. That’s just par for the course when you’re not a big, sexy team in this league.

“They’ve done fantastically well. I’ll certainly give them credit because they still have some very good players. Sometimes when a few players leave as well, maybe that galvanises the team a little bit more. Paul is an experienced manager, you don’t get much more experienced as a player – either."

Millwall are unbeaten in five against Reading, with the last Royals win in Bermondsey coming eight years ago under Nigel Adkins.
