Rotherham United vs Huddersfield Town preview - Same again for Evans

Posted Wednesday, December 24, 2014 by PA

Rotherham boss Steve Evans could pick an unchanged side for the fourth game in a row in the Boxing Day clash with Huddersfield.

The Millers recorded their first win in 10 games when they beat Wigan on Saturday and Evans looks set to keep the faith with the same XI.

Full-back Frazer Richardson (groin) and defender Richard Wood (knee) have returned to training but neither are expected to be in contention for a start.

Kirk Broadfoot (shoulder) is a confirmed absentee as the Millers go in search of their first home win since October.

Huddersfield defender Murray Wallace returns to contention following suspension.

Wallace missed last week's home defeat to Birmingham due to his straight red card in the recent defeat at Norwich and boss Chris Powell must decide whether to stick with Lee Peltier and Anthony Gerrard in defence or change things around.

Powell, who has no new injury or suspension worries as his side bid to bounce back from two straight league defeats, may consider recalls for strikers Nahki Wells and James Vaughan.

Striker Harry Bunn returned last week after missing three games due to a thigh injury and is hoping to resume alongside Grant Holt up front.
