Match Facts
Leicester City are looking to complete a league double over Rotherham for the first time since the 1982-83 season.
Rotherham United have lost eight of their nine away league matches against Leicester – their one win was their most recent game there on Boxing Day 2004 under Ronnie Moore, a 1-0 win.
Leicester City have won 10 of their last 12 home league matches (L2), but their two defeats in that run have been against teams from Yorkshire: 0-1 vs Hull (September) and 0-1 vs Leeds (November).
Rotherham United have lost their last three league games, last suffering four defeats in a row in April 2021 under Paul Warne.
Rotherham have just two wins in their first 22 Championship matches this season (D7 L13) – this century, every second tier team to have two or fewer wins after 22 games has been relegated at the end of the season.
