Rotherham United take on Sheffield Wednesday today in a South Yorkshire derby.
The Owls make the short trip to Rotherham looking to get all three points having drawn their previous two games 0-0 under Steve Bruce.
Paul Warne’s Millers are hoping to build on their 2-2 draw against Hull City at the KCOM Stadium on Tuesday night. They were 2-0 down at half-time but were able to fight their way back to gain an impressive point.
Rotherham slipped into the bottom three in the Championship on Wednesday after Reading’s late win against Blackburn Rovers. However, they can climb their way back out with a win over their rivals today.
Wednesday, on the other hand, will be looking to be more prolific in front of goal to give their travelling fans something to cheer about. Bruce’s men are currently mid-table but a win would see them rise up the table.
Rotherham are a test for anyone in this league and their physically could cause the Owls problems today.
Here is what both sets of fans have been saying on Twitter ahead of the game-
Millers
Rotherham council have said the open top bus parade will take place on 18th of March through Rotherham should we win the cup final today. Pass it on #rufc

Rotherham away, always interesting. Always a challenge. They'll be up for it. Hopefully can keep up the impressive defensive record and get that much needed goal. #swfc

Every game i see predictions of winning by 2, 3, 4 and every game we struggle to score 1, never understood that. I'd take a 1-0 win now. #swfc
