Rotherham United and Norwich City will battle for three points in an EFL Championship matchday five fixture on Saturday.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 6-1 away bashing at the hands of Stoke City in the EFL Cup second round. Josh Laurent scored a brace and provided an assist for the Potters in the rout to guide them to the next round.
Rotherham will turn their attention back to the league where their last game saw them suffer a 2-1 defeat against Leicester City on home turf. The loss left them sat just outside the relegation zone, having garnered just one point from four games.
Norwich City, meanwhile, progressed to the third round of the League Cup with a hard-fought 1-0 away win over Bristol City. Przemysław Płacheta's 48th-minute strike proved to be the match-winner. The Canaries will channel their focus back to the league scene where their last game saw them dispatch Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield Town with a comfortable 4-0 away win.
The win saw them climb to second spot with 10 points to show for their efforts in four games.
