Rotherham United host Leicester City at the New York Stadium on Saturday (August 26) in the Championship.
The hosts have endured a difficult start to their Championship campaign, finding themselves in the relegation zone. Rotherham lost 2-1 to Sunderland at the Stadium of Light at the weekend. Hakeem Odofin scored the opener in the 20th minute before Sunderland scored twice to take all three points.
Leicester, meanwhile, have enjoyed a brilliant start to life under manager Enzo Maresca as they seek an immediate return to the top flight. They beat Cardiff City 2-1 in their last game. Chelsea loanee Cesare Casadei came off the bench to score a late winner on his Foxes debut.
