Two clubs in the bottom half of the English Championship table will do battle today in a match between Rotherham United and Leeds United. The second-division clash scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at New York Stadium in Rotherham and can be live streamed here free.
Rotherham United manager had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via Sky Sports): "If we all take our biased heads off, Leeds United are the stand-out giants in the Championship. You look at the clubs who have just come down from the Premier League, but they are not Leeds United. But [Leeds] are in the Championship because in football, you are where you deserve to be. But it is a fixture that excites us."
"As a lad growing up, I became aware of the likes of Billy Bremner and Peter Lorimer and you never forget that," he added. "But we are on a level playing field and we know a good result will take us above them in the table and to measure that progress in two years I have been here is staggering."
"We want to be above Leeds tomorrow night at 10 o'clock."
