Rotherham - Leicester: Form Analysis
The Millers earned promotion back to the Championship in 2021-22 and safely navigated their return, finishing in 19th place last season. They recorded 50 points in their 46 league matches and were six points above the relegation zone. However, they were set on the backfoot early in this campaign as they lost 4-1 to Stoke City on the opening day. The hosts then let a two-goal lead slip in their first home match against Blackburn and were beaten 2-0 by Sunderland last weekend. Rotherham took 33 points from 23 home games last term, including nine wins and seven draws.
Meanwhile, Leicester found themselves involved in a heated relegation scrap last season with Everton and Leeds. After managing just 34 points in 38 matches last term, they were eventually sent down on the final day. Still, they are heavily fancied to be promoted this season and have begun the campaign very well. The Foxes are flawless after three matches, with consecutive league wins over Coventry City, Huddersfield Town, and Cardiff City. They also secured their progress in the League Cup, beating Burton Albion 2-0. The visitors are one of only two sides that still have a 100% win record this season and are the clear favorites to win this match as well.

Rotherham & Leicester Squad Analysis
Rotherham will have as many as four players missing through injury for this fixture. Grant Hall and Lee Peltier are both ruled out until next month. Jamie Lindsay and Shane Ferguson are only expected to return to the squad in October. Hakeem Odoffin and Wilfred Onyedinma have both scored twice this season and should keep their places in the starting 11.
Leicester City will have to make do without the services of Connor Coady, who is suffering from a foot injury. The defender is only expected to return to the side in mid-September. With several key players leaving over the summer Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has stepped up in midfield and has netted twice so far this season. New signings Stephy Mavdidi and Wanya Marcal-Madivadua have also opened their account and should partner Kelechi Iheanacho in a front three setup.
