Rotherham United preview

The Grecians are back on the road this Saturday making another trip up north to face Rotherham United in 3pm kick-off in EFL Sky Bet League One at the AESSEAL New York Stadium.

City will be looking to build on Saturday's super 3-0 win over Peterborough United as they take on a Millers side that have had a tough start to the new season. Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Doncaster Rovers sees Rotherham sit in 19th place after six matches, with a point to their name.

Gary Caldwell's men will be buoyed by transfer deadline day as Danny Andrew, Akeel Higgins and Carlos Mendes Gomes signed up for the rest of the season - and this could be a chance to see some new faces in action.

City last made the trip to Rotherham in March as Alex Hartridge's first EFL goal earned a hard fought point.

A massive thank you to all the Grecians that are making the long trip on Saturday - see you there!
