Rotherham United will be hoping to climb off the bottom of the table with a win against an Ipswich Town side looking to get their Play-off bid back on track.

Neil Redfearn's Millers will face a side whose season has gone downhill since the Tractor Boys were hammered 5-1 by Steve Clarke's Reading side earlier in the season.

Ipswich find themselves in tenth place, four points off Birmingham in sixth place, whereas Rotherham find themselves bottom of the league with just nine points from their first 15 games.

Fail to pick up points and the Millers could find themselves stranded at the bottom and well off the pace in the survival race. Here are three things to look out for in this afternoon's game:

1) Jonson Clarke-Harris

The England youth international is blessed with exceptional pace and physicality and can be a real handful for opposition defenders.

If he is given the supplies, there is no doubt about the youngster's ability to finish, and his partnership with Matt Derbyshire could prove fruitful should it be given the chance to develop.

They could cause the Ipswich backline, a defence who've already conceded 21 goals this season, serious problems this afternoon.

2) Ipswich's defensive setup

The Tractor Boys have looked shaky at times at the back this season.

With Luke Hyam and Luke Varney still out injured, manager Mick McCarthy will have to think about his defensive setup, with their organisation and shape being slightly problematic at times this season.

They have conceded 21 times this season, the most in the top ten, and have a negative goal difference, which is something they are going to have to address if they want to get into the top six again this season.

3) The Home Support

It will be interesting to see whether the home support really back the Millers from the get-go, and also whether they remain in high voices if they fall behind to Ipswich.

If the fans remain in good voice throughout, it could provide the team with the boost they need to go out and get a result. 

Some have been critical of the home support at the New York Stadium this season, yet a vocal backing this afternoon could be a significant factor if the Millers are to get a result.

Rotherham and Ipswich fans... what do you think the score will be? Can the Millers get a much-needed win? Or will the Tractor Boys keep up the pressure on the top six? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments below!
