Albion should not fear a mauling in the Lions' New Den tonight.

That is the battle cry from goal ace Bobby Zamora as the Seagulls try to spring a surprise in the Worthington Cup.

Second Division Millwall won 2-1 at Withdean a fortnight ago.

It means Micky Adams' men must score at least twice in the return leg at the New Den to avoid an immediate exit from the competition for the sixth season in succession.

Zamora, hat-trick hero of Saturday's confidence-restoring 6-2 triumph against Torquay, believes that is not beyond them.

"They did not show us anything to fear down here," he said. "I see no reason whatsoever why we cannot go there and get a win."

Adams is more worried about Albion's inability to keep a clean sheet than grabbing the goals they need to have a chance of causing an upset.

"I'm thinking of changing the system slightly," he revealed. "I might throw in another defender.

"Millwall's main strength is their attackers Neil Harris and Paul Moody, if they both play.

"I want to give us a chance to still be in the game in the second half. We don't have to score two goals in the first ten minutes."

Adams could add Paul Rogers or Darren Carr to the centre of defence alongside Danny Cullip and loan signing Matthew Wicks from Peterborough, although Harris and Moody are major injury doubts for the home side.

Wicks, forced off with a head wound against Torquay which needed several stitches, has been given the all-clear for his away debut.

Lee Steele, plagued by ankle trouble, is being lined up for another run-out in a friendly for the Reserves at Wick tomorrow night (7.30).

The side may also include two new faces. Midfielder Lee Johnson made his debut in the Reserves last week. The son of Latvian manager Gary Johnson, released by Watford, has joined Albion for a month on a non-contract basis.

Cherif Diallo is a Senegal-born striker on trial following spells in France with Monaco and Nice-based club Draguignan. Albion are waiting for international clearance for the 24-year-old.
