Season ticket holders at AESSEAL New York Stadium haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Rotherham United languishing in the 19th position so far. The guesting Preston North End will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither Rotherham nor Preston North End as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
