    FT: Millwall 0-2 West Brom

    Considering there's a lack of sport today thanks to Storm Ciara, that match did not disappoint and more than made up for the lack of fixtures!

    West Brom certainly look like a force to be reckoned with this season and they were good value for their win.

    Meanwhile, Millwall gave Albion plenty to think about and showed why they have such an enviable home record so far this season.

    In terms of the remaining live sport today, there's just over 15 minutes remaining of Sheffield United's Premier League fixture against Bournemouth with the score 1-1 as it stands.
