History of the West Ham United v Millwall fixture

West Ham play host to Millwall at Boleyn Ground at lunchtime on Sunday, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Hammers have a healthy record in the fixture, winning 5 from 9 meetings.

The last time the two teams met at West Ham was more than a decade ago, in March 1993, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a League Division One match.
