Head2Head & Team News - Peterborough United

Mark Robins has just one fresh injury concern, with Stephen Brogan facing a late fitness test ahead of the game. Mark Hudson remains out for six weeks with injury but there could be a welcome return for striker Tom Cahill, who trained yesterday after summer knee surgery.

It's anticipated that Marcus Bean will come into the side for his full debut if Brogan doesn't make it, and Robins knows it will be a tough test on the back of Thursday's cup defeat against Sheffield Wednesday.

The gaffer told the club's official site: "Peterborough United are a really good side. I watched them play Southampton on Monday and they are a team to beat.

"They played very well but I'm sure we can emulate to their quality. They have a good manager behind them and some quality players so we will wait and see what happens.

"We obviously have to keep the spirits high in spite of getting knocked out of the Carling Cup, we just need to get three points on Sunday."

Visitors Posh seem to think they are in for an aerial battle, if their local rag is anything to go by. Gaffer Darren Ferguson watched the Millers from the Sky studio on Thursday evening and did seem impressed by the football on display however. ''We know it will be a tough game. I saw first hand how dangerous Rotherham can be - they played some excellent football in the first half and will take alot of positives from the game" he told Posh's official website.

They'll be without Claude Gnakpa (ankle), Danny Blanchett (double hernia) and striker Craig Mackail-Smith is very doubtful.

One to watch - Aaron McLean

The £150,000 man signed from Grays is a major threat in attack with all the attributes needed to be sucessful at this level. He netted against the Millers last season in the 3-0 win in the first round of the FA Cup at London Road.

McLean told the Posh o/s: "It will be interesting to see what happens against Rotherham, and who the Gaffer will pick to start up front with Craig Mackail-Smith almost back to full fitness. Obviously we will be without a lot of the fans who always give us an extra boost, but we know we can do well."

Here's the head to head between the two teams.
