PREVIEW: Millers look to end barren run at St Andrew's

Without a point on the road from the first six away matches, they meet a City side who sit sixth in the Championship after a decent start under Gary Rowett.

Hard on the heels of successive matches against Huddersfield, Newcastle and Norwich, it's another tough ask for Alan Stubbs' side and the Millers chief knows his players are going to have to be on top of their game to get a result.

"Birmingham are very well organised and don't give an awful lot away," he said. "They've had a good start and Gary Rowett has done an excellent job there.

"A couple of the players he's added to the squad I know quite a lot about, especially Lukas Jutkiewicz, being at Everton, and he has had a big impact.

"St Andrew's has always been a tough place to go but we will go there and encounter that and try to get a result."

Centre-half Kirk Broadfoot again misses out after picking up a fresh injury, this time to his foot. The match may also come too soon for midfielder Tom Adeyemi but defender Dominic Ball is expected to shake off a niggle in time to play.

Birmingham will run a late fitness test on Ryan Shotton while Rowett, who saw his side beaten at Nottingham Forest on Friday, is warning his players against complacency.

“Rotherham have been very competitive in the games we have seen,” he said. "If we turn up thinking that isn’t going to be the case then as you know you get the proverbial slap in the chops."
