Rotherham United make the short trip to West Yorkshire to take on Leeds United at Elland Road this afternoon.
Unlike last time they met in Leeds I doubt it will be sombrero’s and flip flops with the fans probably needing woolly hats, scarves and gloves and unlike last time both teams will have something to play for. The Millers are rock bottom of the Championship with just nine points while Leeds are nine places above with ten points more.
The Millers are still awaiting a first win under Neil Redfearn with the last win coming under now Leeds Manager Steve Evans against Brentford which was also their last away win. Under Evans Leeds have won their last two games with the last home game being the win over Cardiff.

Although Charlie Taylor has been back in light training after a bout of glandular fever it is doubtful he will be ready to take any part in today’s game. Liam Cooper is likely to be fit but Steve Evans could stick with Sol Bamba after having just had two clean sheets with him in the side.
Player to watch: Scott Wootton
