The original fixture was due to take place on Saturday, December 10, but was postponed due to a frozen pitch.
The young Swans come into the fixture off the back of an outstanding comeback against Queens Park Rangers last time out. Goals from Geoff Bony, Iwan Morgan (3) and a first goal of the season for Yori Griffith secured the three points in west London.
The young Lions have recorded three wins out of five, including a dominant 7-1 victory over Ipswich Town in January. Millwall currently sit second in the south division table, battling current champions Charlton Athletic for the top spot.
Pre-match views
Coach Darren Davies: "After the win against Queens Park Rangers, we all had smiles on our faces, however, there's always work to be done.
"We'll analyse the game from a team perspective and an individual perspective, we'll go through our analysis and our units as we always do.
"We'll look to improve against Millwall, it's an continuous cycle where we analyse and look at areas where we can improve and then we implement that into our next game and so on. We haven't played Millwall yet, and we've got them twice in two weeks, we're looking forward to it."

Swansea City Under-18s suffered defeat to Millwall in the Professional Development League after conceding two first-half penalties when the sides last met at Landore.
The fixture marked the the Swans' first home league game since August, but they fell to defeat thanks to goals from Tom Leahy, Kyle Smith, and a brace for forward Zak Lovelto.
The Swans were victims of their own defensive errors, giving away two penalties in the first half, with the second coming in the dying moments of the period, to turn the tide in favour of the visitors.
Swansea had pulled a goal back in the first half, thanks to a moment of excellence from Cameron Congreve, but hopes of a positive result were dealt a hammer blow by a cluster of goals conceded in the period around half-time.
Swansea City U18s: Ben Hughes; David Roberts, Zane Myers, Filip Lissah, Richard Faayke; Charlie Veevers, Adrian Akande, Josh Edwards (captain), Cameron Congreve (Aimar Govea, 46); Kyrell Wilson (Rohan Davies, 71), Kieran Petrie (Kian Jenkins, 63).
Unused subs: Ryan Bassett, Tyler Evans.
