Rotherham United are back at the New York Stadium for their next game when Fleetwood Town are the visitors on Saturday.

The Millers come into this game on the back of two wins over neighbours Doncaster Rovers. A six-nil win in the EFL Trophy at the Keepmoat came after Rotherham’s last home win again against Rovers which was two-nil.

Fleetwood also won their Trophy game, four-one over an U21 Leicester City team with the Cod Army’s last away league game seeing them draw one-all at Plymouth.

Paul Warne told the Millers’ Official Site that Fleetwood have made a ‘couple’ of good signings in the window saying, ‘They’ve got good threat up front. They are certainly going to ask questions and we hopefully have the answers.’

There are no fresh injury worries for Rotherham with winger Chieo Ogbene ready for a recall.  New loanee Will Grigg will probably make his home debut after starting the Papa John’s Trophy game on Tuesday night.

Speaking to their Official Site Fleetwood’s Head Coach Simon Grayson said he knows they are coming up against tough opposition on Saturday saying, ‘We know how they will play and we will need to give them a tough game with and without the ball.

The Cod Army are likely to give new loanee Callum Johnson a first start while Joe Garner who also recently joined could get some minutes on the pitch.

Craig Hicks has the whistle for this game.
