Rotherham United will host West Bromwich Albion at the New York Stadium on Friday in another round of EFL Championship football.
The home side have struggled for results on their return to the Championship and are now fighting for their survival with less than 10 games to play. They held on for a goalless draw against Hull City last time out and could have no complaints after failing to record a shot on target throughout the game.
West Brom have had mixed results this season but remain in the race for the promotion playoffs. They played out a goalless draw against Millwall in their last league outing and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of lacking inventiveness in the final third.
The visitors have picked up 56 points from 38 games this season and sit ninth in the league table. They are five points away from the playoff spots and will be looking to reduce that gap this weekend.
