Rotherham United welcome Blackburn Rovers for their fifth visit to the New York Stadium.

The last time the pair met at the New York Stadium was last season on New Years Day. Bradley Dack put the visitors in front on sixty-six minutes but a goal a minute from time from David Ball earned the Millers a point.

The season before in the Championship in Rotherham was also a one-all draw, Jon Taylor scoring for the Millers at the start of the second half but an own goal from Stephen Kelly five minutes from time gave Rovers a point.

The game in April 2016 was sorted out by a goal on six minutes from Shane Duffy seeing the visitors take all three points.

The first time the pair met at the New York Stadium was at the end of September 2014. Kari Arnason opened the scoring on five minutes with Luciano Becchio making it two just after the half hour mark which gave all three points to the hosts. Booked that day for the Millers was Lee Frecklington with Rovers having Grant Hanley, Shane Duffy and Cory Evans booked.

Before that the last tme the Millers and Rovers met was in Division Two in May 1983 at Millmoor when a hat-trick from John Seasman gave the Millers a three-one victory.

The last time Rovers were victorious at Millmoor was in February 1980 when both sides were in Division Three. Blackburn won the game three-one with Richard Finney the scorer of the Millers goal.

The two first met at Millmoor in November 1951 when the Millers won three-nil with goals from Jack Shaw (2) and Charlie Tomlinson.

The game at Ewood Park in November was a one-all draw. MIchael Smith put the Millers in front on the seventy-five minute mark but a goal six minutes later from Bradley Dack gave the hosts a point.
