Relegation-battling Rotherham United host Cardiff City at the New York Stadium for a clash in the Championship.
Twentieth in the standings with just eight wins and 29 points from 26 games, the Millers are just a point above the drop zone.
However, it doesn't tell the full story. Some improved results in the new year have seen the side climb out of danger.
Four wins and a draw from the last six games have seen them go up from 22nd in the standings. However, manager Paul Warne still has plenty left to do.
Trending
Cardiff haven't impressed much either, but they're safe in 14th place, with 34 points. New manager Mick McCarthy has managed to arrest their downward spiral for the moment.
A run of five consecutive losses, which plunged the side from ninth down into the bottom half of the table, saw Neil Harris given the axe. McCarthy has so far overseen two draws and a win.
That victory came away to Bristol City last weekend, their first in eight games.
