Derby County will kick off a busy fixture period when they make the trip to London for their Sky Bet Championship fixture against Millwall on Saturday (3pm kick-off).
The trip will be followed by a midweek match on the road against Oxford United on Tuesday 22nd October (7:45pm kick-off), before the Rams return to Pride Park Stadium for the visit of Hull City four days later on Saturday 26th October (3pm kick-off).
Both away games will see Paul Warne’s side backed by sell-out away crowds, as the Rams hunt for their first points on the road this term. They come into the game sitting 12th in the division and buoyed by a 2-0 home win over Queens Park Rangers at Pride Park Stadium before the recent international break.
Neil Harris' Millwall are 18th in the Championship after nine games - with two wins, three draws and four losses to their name. The Lions played out a goalless draw with fourth-placed West Bromwich Albion in their last outing.
