After nine years in the English top-flight division, during which Leicester City even won the title, they were relegated back to the Championship last year. Now, the Foxes are looking for an instant return, and even though they have only a point advantage over 2nd-placed Ipswich, they look like the best team in the league. For now, they are definitely the prime candidate for promotion and the Championship title as well.
Millwall are playing its seventh consecutive season in the Championship, where they were mostly a mid-table team. But this season is not going according to plan. The Lions are 19th with 21 points from 20 rounds, just two points away from the danger zone, and were also embarrassed in the Carabao Cup by the League One team, Reading (4:0). The club tried to shift its poor momentum by changing the coach in November, but it seems that hasn't helped.
Leicester City vs Millwall pick: Leicester City to win and cover the -1.5 AH spread
Leicester City are absolutely dominating the Championship, winning 16 of 20 games - 80%. At King Power Stadium, the Foxes have the same win rate, but recently, they have been absolutely incredible defensively, as they kept a clean sheet in six of the last seven home games.
Millwall lost nine of 20 games in the Championship, but in the last four games, they are even worse, winning just one point and scoring only two goals. So, it is hard to expect a goal against such a strong home team as Leicester.
Leicester City are simply a much better team, and with a home-pitch advantage and Millwall's terrible form, we expect a win for the Foxes by at least a couple of goals difference.

Leicester City team news
Kelechi Iheanacho, Jamie Vardy, Yunus Akgun, and Kasey McAteer all missed the previous game, and coach Enzo Maresca stated they will most likely miss the Millwall game as well. So, we should expect a similar starting lineup as in the previous game vs Plymouth.
Also, a starting left full-back from the start of the season, Callum Doyle, will remain sidelined with a long-term injury.
A starting left full-back, Ricardo Pereira, served his one-game suspension in the previous game vs Plymouth and should be back in the starting lineup.
