Team News....
Rotherham will be without defender Callum Kennedy (one-match suspension) and Ryan Taylor (groin). Ryan Cresswell has suffered a setback and sustained ankle ligament damage, so is around 2 weeks away from action.
Tom Newey and Omar Daley, who would be making his first start for the club, are expected to come into a 4-3-3 formation.
Jimmy Ryan (hamstring) should be fit for Accrington despite being forced off against Stevenage last week. Ryan may be on the bench with the likes of Andy Parkinson, Chris Turner, Rory Boulding and Ray Putterill battling to replace him in the starting line-up. (BBC Sport)
