Leeds United - v - Rotherham United ***Matchday Thread***

[BelfastAndy]

Leeds are likely to revert to the XI that started in their 4-1 win at Derby after making eight changes against Bolton in the Carabao Cup midweek.

Adam Forshaw (foot) and Stuart Dallas (thigh) are both still out.

Rotherham striker Jamie Proctor could return to league action after more than a year out with cruciate ligament damage, having scored twice in Tuesday's League Cup win over Wigan.

Michael Ihiekwe (illness) and Darren Potter (Achilles) continue to miss out.

Match factsLeeds won both Championship matches against Rotherham in 2016-17, their first league double over the Millers since the 1960-61 season.

Rotherham have scored just one goal in their last five visits to Elland Road in all competitions (W1 D2 L2), a Joe Newell winner in a 1-0 victory in November 2015.

There have been five red cards shown in the last four Championship meetings between these sides (two for Leeds, three for Rotherham).Rotherham - who won 1-0 against Ipswich last time out - have not won back-to-back Championship games since April 2016 under Neil Warnock, with the second win in that sequence coming against Leeds.

Leeds lost four of their six Championship matches in 2017-18 against the sides promoted from League One the previous season (W2 - both against Bolton).

In the Championship, Rotherham have lost their last nine Yorkshire derbies in a row.

4 - 0.

MOT.

I'm feeling a deal more edgy about this game to be honest. Expectations to get the full 6 points from the first two games wasn't at the highest...but this is a side we are expected to beat. Just doesnt seem to go to script in these cases, as Birmingham taking a point off Swansea earlier just showed. I think scoring the first goal in this match will determine our fate. C'mon lads!
