Rotherham v Palace – Team news preview

Last updated : 01 March 2004 By Nik Taylor

Iain Dowie is set to pick an unchanged team for Palace’s trip to Millmoor tomorrow night.

The Eagles returned to winning ways at the weekend with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Gillingham. But there were no further injury worries for the Palace boss.

Importantly, Andy Johnson managed to shake off his ankle injury, and will be fit to start a match which could fire Palace into the top six.

Mark Hudson will play despite his controversial sending off against the Gills, though Aki Riihilahti is still at least three weeks from a return.

Rotherham will be firing on all cylinders after their surprise 1-0 win at West Brom. But they are likely to be missing striker Richie Barker after he picked up a knock against the Baggies.
