Blackburn Rovers will be at home against Rotherham United seeking to get back to winning ways in the English Championship. Rovers are 15th in the standings coming into this fixture while United are rock bottom. Blackburn are in a rut and aside from losing four straight games, have only won once in seven outings. Six of those games have all ended in defeat. Rovers, highly favoured at the start of the season to clinch a playoff spot, are now eight points from the top six. Jon Dahl Tomasson’s men were at the end of a five-goal thriller away to Hull last time out. It was the second game in a row that they had conceded three goals. Blackburn have been away for their last two fixtures and returning home for this game should have them fancying their chances. Half of their 10 victories have come at Ewood Park.

Rotherham United haven’t lost against Blackburn in two encounters now. They drew the first meeting of the season at home 2-2 back in August and a similar result here will be most welcomed. United are struggling at the wrong end of the table and are in danger of going down at the end of the season. Leam Richardson’s men are bottom of the table and have managed only three wins from 25 games. In this festive period, however, they have seen an upturn in fortunes and have picked up four points from their last two games. The Millers shocked playoff-chasing Middlesbrough 1-0 on boxing day and then drew one-all with Sunderland last time out. Both matches had them as hosts though but they will hope to have the momentum to earn a result here. Rotherham, who are yet to win an away fixture in more than a year, are eight points from safety.

布莱克本流浪者将在主场迎战罗瑟勒姆联队，希望能在英冠赛场上重回胜利之路。流浪者在这场比赛中排名第15，而曼联则垫底。布莱克本在比赛中表现平平，除了连续输掉4场比赛外，他们在7场比赛中只赢了一场。其中六场比赛都以失败告终。流浪者队在赛季初被认为是争夺季后赛席位的热门球队，现在距离前六名有8分的差距。上一次比赛结束时，托马森的队员们在客场对阵赫尔城的比赛中打进了五球。这是他们连续第二场丢三球。布莱克本在过去的两场比赛中都在客场，这次比赛他们回到主场应该会幻想他们的机会。他们的10场胜利中有一半来自埃伍德公园球场。

罗瑟勒姆联队在两场对阵布莱克本的比赛中没有输过球。今年8月，他们在主场2比2战平了本赛季的首场比赛，而在这里，类似的结果将是最受欢迎的。曼联在积分榜上排名靠后，有赛季结束后下滑的危险。利姆·理查森的球队排在积分榜的末尾，在25场比赛中只取得了3场胜利。然而，在这个节日期间，他们的运气有所好转，并在最近两场比赛中获得了4分。米勒队在节礼日1-0击败了淘汰赛中的米德尔斯堡队，然后在上一场比赛中1-0战平了桑德兰队。两场比赛他们都是东道主，但他们希望能在这里取得胜利。罗瑟勒姆在一年多的时间里还没有赢得一场客场比赛，现在距离安全还有8分。
