Struggling Rotherham travel to the North West as Neil Warnock looks to get his first win as Millers boss at Turf Moor.

The home side drew 0-0 with Reading last week as they missed the opportunity to jump into the top two of the Championship but with Hull and Middlesbrough both not playing this weekend, the Clarets could go to within a point of top spot.

Sean Dyche's side are unbeaten in eight league games and go into the game favourites due to their superior form over the relegation strugglers.

Rotherham parted company with Neil Redfearn and replaced him with the experienced Neil Warnock, their third boss of the season, and they will hope to close the gap between themselves and 21st-placed Bristol City.

Warnock has already added to his squad and they may find themselves in the squad for his second game in charge of the club.

Here are THREE things to look out for in the game:

1) A fast start could be important

Rotherham have conceded 10 goals in the opening 15 minutes this season, the joint-most in the division, and if Burnley have a good start at Turf Moor they should continue their good form.

Form and momentum are important in the Championship promotion race and Burnley are currently the form side in the division.

The home side go into the game favour ties due to the strength of their squad as well as their current run and a good start will see them justify that tag.

2) A dogged Rotherham side

When Rotherham announced that Neil Redfearn had left the club, one of the best managers they could turn to as they look to maintain their Championship status is the 67-year-old.

An experienced boss who knows how to get results in this division, his sides are known to dig in and do whatever they can to get a result and the Millers will undoubtedly do something similar.

With five points separating them and safety, they need results quick and Warnock will be hoping for an immediate impact.

3) A difficult afternoon for the Millers

Burnley are the form side in the Championship this season and at Turf Moor, they are an extremely difficult side to beat.

If Andre Gray and co. get some luck, Rotherham's defence could be in for a torrid afternoon and their own form, which has seen them win just once in eight games, won't get any better.

Neil Warnock has a tough task on his hand and getting a result at Burnley doesn't look very likely at the moment.
