Caleb Taylor promises Millwall will 'give it' to West Ham in Dockers Derby | OneFootball

Caleb Taylor has promised Millwall will take the fight to league leaders West Ham in Saturday’s Dockers Derby at The Den, anticipating a fierce home occasion.

"I can't wait. You know what The Den's like, it's such a good atmosphere. Saturday we'll try and be solid, they have some good players, come down from the Premier League, they have huge financial backing. We'll make it a good game and really give it to them. It's going to be proper intimidating," Taylor told the BBC's EFL 72+ podcast.

The meeting is the first Dockers Derby since February 2012. West Ham sit top of the EFL Championship after four straight wins, with 11th-placed Millwall four points behind.

Taylor, 23, is the only Lion to have completed every minute of their seven league matches, and he remains confident the squad can take something against heavy-spending rivals.

Millwall opened with back-to-back clean sheets but have conceded 13 in their last five league games. Taylor aims to restore solidity alongside Jake Cooper against a West Ham attack that has scored 16 in their past four.

He credited Alex Neil with helping the squad move on from last season’s play-off semi-final heartbreak against Hull City, refocusing minds on a promotion push. Millwall hope to channel that resilience into a statement result that could build momentum.
