Leeds United 3-0 Rotherham United highlights: Summerville double and controversial Bamford opener seal three points
The Millers have won just once in their last 18 Championship outings and are yet to taste victory on the road during their league campaign this season. Currently marooned at the foot of the table, they visit Elland Road for today's 3pm kick-off knowing Leeds are the only team in the Football League still unbeaten at home in 2023/24.
Head coach Leam Richardson is a born-and-bred Leeds fan but will attempt to cause an upset of the highest order in front of an Elland Road crowd seeking to keep the pressure on the likes of Leicester City, Southampton and Ipswich Town at the summit of the Championship table.

It's matchday. Leeds looking to go one better than they managed at the New York Stadium earlier this season.
All your live updates right here throughout the afternoon as today's game is not televised, for once.
Early team news
What Farke said yesterday on injuries.
[Dan James] Much improved but will definitely miss this game. Jamie Shackleton out with illness hasn't trained with us yet. He's the only player that could possibly return.
Predicted line-up
We think Daniel Farke will revert back to his favoured XI with Ethan Ampadu at centre-half today. Debate over who starts at left-back; Sam Byram or Junior Firpo?
Connor Roberts is available but is expected to start on the bench. Archie Gray likely to remain at right-back for the time being.
