Rotherham suffered their 16th league-defeat of the season against Luton on Saturday courtesy of goals from Carlton Morris and Cauley Woodrow. The Millers have won only one of their last six outings, and that lone success came against West Bromwich Albion (3-1) almost ten days ago, thanks to Jordan Hugill’s brace and one goal from Tariqe Fosu. It was their 10th second tier vistory of the campaign. Meanwhile Matt Taylor’s side have picked up 29 points from their 20 league-matches at New York Stadium this season, but they will be welcoming a Burnley outfit with the best away record in the division, collecting 40 points from a possible 60 on the road.
The Clarets secured a thrilling 3-2 win over Rotherham in the reverse fixture in November last year, courtesy of Jay Rodriguez’s 35th-minute equaliser and a two injury time efforts from Manuel Benson and Halil Dervisoglu. Burnley secured promotion back to the top tier of English football with a 2-1 win over Middlesbrough on April 7, and they are now closing in on the second division title. Vincent Kompany’s side have recorded 26 second tier wins this term and their latest triumph came against second-placed Sheffield United last Monday, thanks to Johan Gudmundsson’s second-half brace. After that, the Clarets shared the spoils against Reading at Madejski Stadium despite having more than 75% of ball possession.
