Rotherham United begin their EFL Trophy campaign with a trip to face York City on Tuesday evening. The Group North 3 fixture at the LNER Community Stadium kicks off a busy period for the Millers.
Rotherham head north on the back of a 1-0 away win at Northampton Town last Saturday, secured by a Paul Mullin penalty. That result lifted them to 14th in the League Two table, with nine points from their opening seven matches. Mullin is the club's top scorer this season with three goals in seven appearances.
Rotherham's recent form shows two wins, two draws and one loss from their last five outings. They drew 3-3 with Salford City at home before the Northampton victory, and their last meeting with York ended in a 1-1 draw at the New York Stadium in August.
York City, who play in the National League, have had mixed results but beat Exeter City 2-1 in their last home game. The full schedule for Rotherham's season, including the upcoming home league game against Crewe Alexandra, can be found on the club's fixtures page.
With the EFL Trophy offering a chance to rotate the squad, manager Steve Evans may look to give minutes to players who have been on the fringe. The team's current standings position provides a solid base from which to approach this cup competition. The match kicks off at 7pm UK time on Tuesday, 22 September.
