Rotherham United V Leicester
So the Foxes make the trip to visit the Millers on Tuesday evening in the first round of the Carling Cup (League Cup).
With Leicester currently sitting 8th in the Championship and Rotherham sitting 6th in League 2, these two teams have meet on several occasions. Although Leicester has a fantastic league record against Rotherham United our actual league cup record against them is not quite as rewarding.
The teams have met on three occasions during league cup games, and on each occasion Rotherham has been the victorious team. The last encounter was in 1979 when the Millers sent us out of round 1 with a 5 -1 winning aggregate. At Filbert Street they walked away with a 2-1 win before finishing us of on the return leg 3-0.
Our last league game encounter in 2004 ended with both teams taking one win each. Ironically both teams won when away from home.
History is certainly against the Foxes tomorrow, although as Saturdays games showed we are in a new dawn for Leicester. It took the Foxes eight years to win away to Coventry.
