BURNLEY winger Glen Little is prepared for a hostile reception as the Clarets go to the New Den.

The 25-year-old knows only too well the kind of highly charged atmosphere that the East End fans will create as the Clarets look to maintain their 100 per cent League record at Millwall.

"It will be a very hostile atmosphere I'm sure," said Wimbledon-born Little, who is highly amused that the Lions fans' abuse aimed at him in the past usually brands him as 'northern'.

"The Millwall fans always make it really tough," he said. "I've played there a few times and for the first 15 or 20 minutes they don't half get behind their team.

"I am sure when we walk out on that pitch tomorrow there will be the usual roar and it is up to us to weather the storm, there is no doubt about that.

"Their players will be pumped up, so we are just going to have to be up for it."

After success at Sheffield Wednesday and a home win over Wimbledon, the Clarets are riding high in the table but newly promoted Millwall will be a tough nut to crack.

The Lions started their campaign with a 4-0 thumping of Norwich at the New Den, but then followed that with a 4-0 defeat at Birmingham City, but Little was not reading too much into that Jeckyll and Hyde start.

"They are in a new division and finding their feet, but they showed by beating Norwich by four goals that they are a good side," said Little.

"I'm sure they will be tough to beat, especially at home where they will be looking to stamp their authority on the division in the same way we did last year, but we have a good League record so far and we are hoping to keep that going.

"We need to keep a clean sheet and if we can do then we are more than capable of winning.

"You can't read too much into their big defeat at Birmingham. I don't know what happened there, but every side has an off day and when you are facing good quality players you can be well beaten - as we found out last season too.

"But one thing is sure they will be looking to bounce back from that defeat."

The Clarets themselves will be seeking a tonic after their midweek Worthington Cup first round exit at the hands of League newcomers Rushden and Diamonds at Turf Moor by a 3-2 scoreline.

Little, who came on as a substitute at half-time against the Diamonds, was well aware of the need for the Clarets to put that particular defeat firmly behind them.

"It was a disappointment to go out of the cup, but we have two wins in two games in the League and we want to get back to winning ways," said Little.

"We are out of the cup so we have to look forward and tomorrow is another big game for us, and one we are capable of winning.

"We conceded three goals in midweek and we are well aware that we need to get back to normal.

"I think we will do, and we are going to have to because they are going to come at us from the off.

"Maybe after the cup game it is a good thing that we will be under pressure from the start because we are going to have to get back on top of our game pretty quickly."
