Rotherham United take on Nottingham Forest in the Championship this evening, with the Millers looking to get their season up off the ground.

Alan Stubbs’ side have won just once in the first six games of the season, and sit in the relegation zone as they head into tonight’s game at the New York Stadium.

Stubbs is able to call upon a number of former Forest players, as Lee Camp, Kelvin Wilson and Greg Halford all start this evening, whilst Chelsea youngster Izzy Brown and Celtic loanee Scott Allan will look to provide a cutting edge in the final third.

The likes of Will Vaulks, Anthony Forde and Dominic Ball are all on the bench following summer moves to Rotherham, along with young striker Jerry Yayes and veterans Lewis Price, Stephen Kelly and Lee Frecklington.

Meanwhile, Forest drew 2-2 with Aston Villa on Sunday, and came back from 2-1 down to claim a point at Villa Park, with Sunday’s goalscorers Apostolos Vellios and Henri Lansbury both in the line-up tonight.

Vladimir Stojkovic keeps his place in goal having impressed against Villa, but Mustapha Carayol has been dropped to the bench in favour of Italian attacker Nicolao Dumitru.

It’s a strong bench for Forest with Michael Mancienne, Danny Fox, Lica and Carayol all available, whilst Nicklas Bentdner has been named as a substitute following his move to the club last week.
