Prediction: 0-2
Leicester
Aesseal New York Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Rotherham United and Leicester City, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. The Millers are eager to escape the relegation zone and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the promotion hopefuls. Hakeem Odoffin limped off with injury in a 2-1 loss to Sunderland, with Ciaran McGuckin likely to step up.
Leicester City, on the other hand, aim to overtake Ipswich Town in top position in the standings. The Foxes are eager to keep their 100% record intact and given Rotherham’s slow start to the season, away win should be considered. Defender Conor Coady misses out with a foot injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team. Talented midfielder Cesare Casadei is pushing for a start after scoring a late winner against the Bluebirds.
Highlighted Player (Jamie Vardy):
Spending his early career playing no-league football, Jamie Vardy made the headlines when he joined Leicester City in a £1 million deal in 2012, but little did he know that he would go on to become a genuine Premier League star just three years later.
The experienced forward helped the Foxes gain promotion to the elite division and then score more than 20 goals as they mounted an unlikely title bid, earning worldwide acclaim as well as a place in the England squad. Vardy went on to score his first two goals for the Three Lions in March 2016 friendlies, with his back-heel goal against Germany in Berlin seeing him instantly become a fans’ favourite.
Over the years, Vardy has earned a reputation as a striker who never gives up and can be a real menace for opposition defenders, but his excellent goalscoring record and good link-up play are enough to suggest he can be described as a mix of old-style pacey forwards and modern strikers.
Highlighted Team (Rotherham):
Rotherham United are an English club that compete in the Championship. Rotherham United are located in Rotherham, South Yorkshire and they play their home games at New York Stadium and the capacity of the venue is 12,021.
The club was founded in 1925 as a merger between Rotherham County and Rotherham Town. The colour of Rotherham’s home kit was originally yellow and black, but nowadays they were red and white jerseys. The Millers made it to the FA Cup fifth round on two occasions (1952/1953, 1967/1968) and they have yet to play in the Premier League.
Rotherham United have won the Football League One twice (1950/1951, 1980/1981), but the club’s biggest success is participation in the 1960/1961 League Cup final. Sheffield United are regarded as Rotherham United’s fiercest rivals, but the likes of Sheffield Wednesday and Doncaster could be considered Rotherham’s big rivals as well.
