Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman will be hoping his side can return to winning ways when they face Rotherham United at the AESSEAL New York Stadium tomorrow afternoon, 3pm kick-off.
The Reds come into the game on the back of a 2-0 home defeat to Crewe Alexandra in the Emirates FA Cup, but Coleman's side secured an away point in a 0-0 draw with Coventry City in their last league outing.
Rotherham suffered a 3-0 defeat on Tuesday night to Lincoln City in the Leasing.com Trophy, with The Millers securing a 3-0 away victory over Gillingham in their last league game.
In the dugout for Rotherham is Paul Warne, who has spent 18 of the last 22 seasons at the club as either a player, coach, or manager.
The Millers currently sit 10th in the Sky Bet League One table, with Stanley sitting in 19th place.
The two sides have met each other on 13 occasions, with Stanley winning two of those games and Rotherham winning eight.

Key Players
Michael Ihiekwe - A familiar face to Stanley fans, Ihiekwe spent the first half of last season on loan at the Wham Stadium from Rotherham United. During his loan spell with the Reds, the defender made 23 appearances and scored his only goal for the club in a 1-1 home draw with Portsmouth. The 26-year-old has featured for The Millers on 68 occasions, with 18 of those appearances coming this season. Ihiekwe has also played for Cheltenham Town and Tranmere Rovers, with the defender making over 100 appearances for the latter.
Matt Crooks - Another former Stanley player, Crooks initially joined the club on loan from Huddersfield Town before his move was made permanent in February 2015. The defensive midfielder made a total of 53 appearances for the Reds, with the 25-year-old grabbing his name on the scoresheet on eight occasions. Crooks then spent time with Rangers, Scunthorpe United and Northampton Town, before he joined Rotherham United in January 2019. The Leeds-born midfielder is in very impressive form, having grabbed seven goals in his last seven games.
Freddie Ladapo - Despite being just 26-years-old, Ladapo has already featured for 16 different clubs during his career. The striker signed for Rotherham United in June 2019 for what was a record transfer fee for The Millers, after grabbing 19 goals in 49 games for Plymouth Argyle. The Romford-born striker has found the net on five occasions this season, including a brace in a 6-1 victory over Bolton Wanderers in September.
