Team news
Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa is expected to revert his team to the one which beat Stoke City and Derby County in the Championship, but Patrick Bamford is vying for a place in the starting line-up after scoring in midweek against Bolton Wanderers. Stuart Dallas and Adam Forshaw are still likely to be missing through injury. Darren Potter is Rotherham's only absentee.
The key battle
Mateusz Klich v Will Vaulks
Whites midfielder Klich has scored two goals in his first two league games for Leeds. He has been in fine form in the heart of the United midfield and a key player for Marcelo Bielsa's side. On Saturday he will come up against Vaulks, but can he stop him?
