This weekend will see the first league meeting between Chesterfield and Rotherham United for 13 years. The Spireites face the Millers in League Two on Saturday at the AESSEAL New York Stadium with a 1pm kick-off.

Paul Cook's side will be looking to secure back-to-back victories after an impressive 1-0 win away at promotion favourites Salford City last weekend. Meanwhile, Rotherham United are still searching for their first victory of the 2026/27 season. After losing 4-1 at home to West Bromwich Albion in the first round of the EFL Cup, Alex Bruce's team lost 2-1 away at Cheltenham Town on the opening day of the League Two campaign before being held to a 1-1 draw at home by newly-promoted York City in their most recent game.
