Neil 'optimistic but with trepidation'

Alex Neil is "optimistic but with an air of trepidation" about Millwall's chances against his former club Norwich on Saturday.

Neil's side made an excellent start to their Championship campaign, winning 2-0 at Bristol City, and will want more of the same in their first home match of the season.

"We've had a good result with a good performance and we obviously want to try to put another one in at home," Lions boss Neil told BBC Radio London.

"I'm going into Saturday's game optimistic but with an air of trepidation as usual, because Norwich are a very good side and we're going to have to be at it."

Millwall will be without Femi Azeez, who went off during the first half of the Bristol City game with what appears to be only a minor injury.

Neil explained: "He's got a slight strain, which is not significant, but it's going to be a little bit too soon for Fem."
