QPR manager Ian Holloway is in confident mood ahead of his return to The Den to face Millwall.

The former Lions boss will receive a hostile reception from the home fans but is confident of further upsetting them by picking up three points.

He told Rangers’ website: “People say the Den is a tough place to go but I have won there a lot so I can’t wait. I know what my players can expect and I will be selecting the team accordingly.”

Holloway believes he knows what to expect from Millwall, who drew 2-2 at home to Championship leaders Wolves on Boxing Day.

He said: “Millwall will try to turn us, they will play from back to front really quickly with good skill, into (Steve) Morison, into (Tom) Elliott, for (Lee) Gregory to run in behind.

“They have got lots of ability and whenever they cross it they get four men into the box, so full credit to them.

“They will back that up with a high press, with a midfield four that will get at you. What we have to do is deal with that.”

Holloway will be without midfielder Josh Scowen, who is suspended after being sent off during the draw against Ipswich.
