Rotherham v Leeds predictions

Promotion-chasing Leeds have won six of their last seven Championship games and they can pick up where they left off by beating struggling Rotherham at the New York Stadium.

Daniel Farke's side were late to the party in terms of summer recruitment and lost early ground by winning just one of their opening five league matches.

However, the Whites' 18-point haul since the start of October is the highest in the division and there is every reason to expect another maximum when they visit the second-bottom Millers.

The international break afforded Rotherham chairman Tony Stewart an opportunity to take stock and he opted for a change of manager by terminating Matt Taylor's employment.

Stewart's search for Taylor's replacement is ongoing, although there will be pressure to make a fairly swift decision with Rotherham positioned five points inside the relegation zone.

Wayne Carlisle has stepped up as Interim manager and faces a daunting first assignment with a threadbare squad.

Sam Clucas, Daniel Ayala and Cafu were injured in the 5-0 loss away to Watford two weeks ago, and have joined Shane Ferguson, Tyler Blackett and Cameron Humphreys in a crowded treatment room.

The bulk of Rotherham's absentees are defenders and it has had an impact because the Millers' defensive record of 32 goals conceded is the joint-worst in the division.

They have done okay in attack, scoring in each of their eight home league games, but their shaky backline is a massive hindrance against such strong opponents.

Leeds have scored two or more goals in four of their last six Championship fixtures and another attacking masterclass can pave the way for a fourth successive league win.
