Match Preview:
The Lilywhites currently sit in 17th place in the table on 21 points from 16 games. The Millers sit one place below on 20 points albeit have played three games more. A vital game for both sides as they look to stay out of and climb away from the bottom four.

Football of course become somewhat secondary after the tragic passing of Billy Vigar during the game at Wingate & Finchley, a situation which experienced manager Miles Rutherford and his team have had to deal with and one can only imagine how difficult that has been. They responded with a run of five unbeaten league games including two wins following the abandoned game although then lost three on the bounce co-incidentally against the top three sides. Last time out on Tuesday they played fourth place Chatham Town at home gaining a credible 2-2 draw.

The Millers have gained seven points from their last three league games and will be looking to continue that upward momentum. A much changed side lost in the London Senior Cup on Tuesday to a very good young Queens Park Rangers side so focus now returns very much on the league.
