Rotherham v Brentford preview

Image: Izzy Brown: Could make his debut for Rotherham

Rotherham host Brentford in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday still looking for their first win of the new campaign following Tuesday's 3-0 defeat at league leaders Brighton.

The Millers were without new loan signing Izzy Brown, who had not arrived from Chelsea in time to play, but he is in contention to make his debut this time around.

Jake Forster-Caskey was ineligible for the midweek game as he could not face his parent club, but he should return to the starting XI, while Kirk Broadfoot may recover from a hamstring problem.

Lee Frecklington (calf) is expected to miss out, and despite returning to training, neither Joe Newell nor Aimen Belaid will play a part.

Bees boss Dean Smith must decide whether to change a winning side.

Forward Scott Hogan completed his third 90 minutes of the season against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night, with his first-half goal enough to secure a 1-0 victory at Griffin Park.

Lewis Macleod will be assessed after the midfielder picked up a knock to his ankle, while defender Maxime Colin is hoping to retain his place in the team having shaken off a calf problem.
