Top of the table Rotherham United welcome tenth placed Burton Albion to the New York Stadium this afternoon.
The Millers go into this game on the back of four home league wins, the last one being on Tuesday evening which saw a one-nil win send Rotherham back to the top of League One.
Burton’s last away game saw them draw away at AFC Wimbledon with their last win away from home seeing seven goals on New Years Day when they beat Bolton Wanderers four-three.
Rotherham United Manager Paul Warne told iFOLLOW that Burton are ‘up there’ on form saying, ‘they are really hard to break down and although the first goal is usually essential I think it’s even more paramount this weekend.’
Although the Millers knew they would be without Clark Robertson for some time while on the mend from an operation it’s now thought he has a broken foot to add to his woes (you really couldn’t make it up could you). Billy Jones is getting closer to fitness but won’t be available this week but there are no new injury worries for Paul Warne. The Millers were busy in the transfer window yesterday fetching in Josh Koroma on loan from Huddersfield and Curtis Tilt from Blackpool but it’s thought that both were signed too late to be in today’s squad.
The Brewers have no new injuries and it could be that Nathan Broadhead, who is back after returning to his parent club Everton with a hamstring problem, could be in the travelling squad.
Will Finnie from Luton is the referee for this game.
