Rotherham v Oldham
Rotherham boss Alan Knill will be without skipper Colin Murdock (hernia), Justin Cochrane (knee) and defender Stephen Brogan (knee).
Will Hoskins is expected to retain his place in the starting line-up for the in-form Millers, who are seeking their third straight win.

Oldham hope to draft in another striker on loan in time for the tie.

Midfielders Mark Hughes, Neil Wood and Moussa Dabo should get run-outs but Neil Eardley is suspended.

Rotherham 3-1 Oldham
Rotherham came from behind to beat Oldham in the Carling Cup first round to record a third successive win.
Craig Rocastle put the visitors ahead on 42 minutes when he drove home hard to convert Paul Edwards' cross.

But early in the second half Rotherham stand-in skipper Ian Sharps volleyed home, with a brilliant strike by Will Hoskins putting the home side ahead.

Richie Partridge further extended Rotherham's lead with a neat header after some insipid Oldham defending.
