TEAM NEWS

The Millers took the opportunity to rest some players in midweek, while Jack Wray and Adam Muir were able to get valuable minutes in the bank ahead of the game. Benito Lowe is available following suspension, while Joe Bevan netted a hat-trick in last Saturday's win putting to bed any doubts over his fitness. Jordan Latham made his debut for the club in midweek and will provide cover for Dylan Forth. Akim Samms should also be back in contention after suffering a calf injury against Rocester in mid-March. The Millers enjoyed a light training session on Thursday evening with no new injury concerns reported.

FORM GUIDE

The Millers had a productive month of March, winning seven and drawing two games, while Abbey Hey were also in fine form winning winning six out of seven league games and their only blip coming in the Macron Cup at Premier Division side Avro.

HEAD TO HEAD

The two sides met back at the Abbey Stadium in October, Jordan Lazenbury converting a very late penalty to earn Abbey Hey all three points from a very tight game on that occasion, while The Millers created plenty chances late on in the meeting at Church Lane just before Christmas, but in spite of going ahead through a Darren McKnight free-kick, Jake Dunford scored an excellent individual goal to earn Abbey a point.
