Georginio Rutter has been involved in eight of Leeds' 27 Championship goals this year.

Another tonight?

Leeds have dominated the possession in these early stages.

A ball is floated into the Rotherham box from Daniel James and it curls into the path of Joel Piroe.

Fortunately for the hosts, the Leeds forward can't provide an opening-minute flourish to send the visitors ahead.

The referee has sounded his whistle and this game of association football is under way.

Rotherham United kick us off.

So then, can Leeds United continue their purple patch of form which they took into the international break?

A derby win would certainly be a good return to league action and the managerless Millers could be short of confidence.

Or am I getting ahead of myself - can Wayne Carlisle steer Rotherham to a much-needed win?

"I'm not a friend of Friday night kick-offs after an international break."

Those were the words of Leeds boss Daniel Farke in his pre-match media conference this week.

Still, there's ground to be made up on runaway leaders Leicester and Ipswich but Farke isn't worrying too much about the lay of the land at the Championship summit for now.

"You need 26 wins and several draws to achieve automatic promotion. For me, it's just the last five or six games when you look at the table," he said.

"We don't pay too much attention to the table right now."

Rotherham sacked manager Matt Taylor just before the international break and come into tonight's game without appointing a replacement.

Assistant manager Wayne Carlisle will take charge of the club for the visit of Leeds knowing that a derby win for the Millers would bridge the gap towards exiting the bottom three.

Taylor (pictured above) was dismissed by the club having picked up just two wins from 16 league games so far this season.

The former Exeter boss became the seventh Championship manager to leave his job during the 2023-24 season.

The international break is over. The Championship is back. And we've got the treat of uninterrupted domestic football until March.

Wonderful.

Tonight we've got a Yorkshire derby to whet the appetite. Struggling Rotherham United welcome in-form Leeds United.

Kick-off is on its way.
