The National League side will be hoping to beat their Championship opponents, with a place in the fourth round at stake.
The Daggers parted ways with former manager Ben Strevens following their 4-2 defeat at home to Braintree Town on Boxing Day, a result that left them just five points clear of the relegation zone in the table.
Since Strevens left the club, Dagenham have been under the guidance of caretaker manager Lewis Young, who has helped stabilize things, with the club now closer to the playoff positions than the relegation zone.
Impressively, Young quickly improved their poor away record this season, with the team securing just seven points from a possible 33 under Strevens.
Both of Young's matches have been away from home, and he has guided the Daggers to one win and one draw in those games, including a 1-1 draw with rising Forest Green Rovers last time out.
The visitors will look to carry their newfound confidence into the cup tie against Millwall, having beaten Football League opponents twice to reach the third round, with wins against Crewe Alexandra and AFC Wimbledon in the last two rounds.
Meanwhile, the home side have struggled in recent weeks and, like Dagenham, have also undergone managerial changes, with former boss Neil Harris opting to leave the club in mid-December.
He was replaced in the dressing room at The Den by Alex Neil, and the former Sunderland manager is still looking for his first win in charge of his new club, having picked up one point from his first two games.
Under the guidance of Harris, caretaker manager David Livermore and now Neil, Millwall have managed just one win in their last 11 games – and with 21 games remaining in the league, they are 14th in the Championship table, seven points clear of the relegation zone and 10 points from the playoffs.
The Lions have been strong defensively this season and can boast the seventh best defensive record in the Championship, but part of the reason they are not higher up the table is their lack of attacking threat, having scored just 24 goals in 25 league games this season .
Facing non-league opponents, the hosts should feel confident that they can score on Monday night, but the Daggers will look to exploit any nervousness in the Millwall side, as the visitors aim to progress to the fourth round for the first time since 2003.
Millwall have several injury concerns heading into this game, with Aidomo Emakhu (groin) and Josh Coburn (foot) out for the foreseeable future, while Duncan Watmore is also expected to miss the game with a thigh injury.
In better news for the hosts, Danny McNamara, Jake Cooper and Calum Scanlon have all returned to training after long absences, with Cooper and McNamara expected to return to action soon.
Elsewhere, Romain Esse is unlikely to feature for the Lions, as he is close to a move to Premier League side Crystal Palace.
Meanwhile, Sam Ling was injured early in the match against Forest Green, so he is a doubt heading into this match for the visitors.
Top scorer Dion Pereira hasn't featured since the defeat to Braintree on Boxing Day and, if he doesn't play again, Josh Rees will be Dagenham's biggest goal threat.
