Duo set for Millers starts

Rotherham manager Steve Evans could hand starts to Paul Taylor and Jonson Clarke-Harris when his side take on Fulham for the first time in 20 years.

Taylor came off the bench at half-time during Friday's 2-1 win over Leeds and helped change the game, while Clarke-Harris also made an impact as a substitute, scoring the winner less than two minutes after coming on.

Defender Frazer Richardson has been laid low with a bug over the weekend but will be able to resume at right-back and Joe Skarz is fine after taking a knock to his knee against the West Yorkshire outfit.

Conor Newton (groin) and Richard Wood (knee) are close to a return to training but will not feature as the Millers look to build on an impressive haul of seven points from games with Blackburn, Norwich and Leeds.

Fulham expect defender Tim Hoogland to be fit despite his early departure at the weekend.

The German went off after just 22 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 win over Norwich as he was struggling with illness, but caretaker boss Kit Symons is confident he will be available.

Fernando Amorebieta is still out with a knee injury and Adam Taggart remains sidelined as he recovers from a back problem, although the Australian striker has stepped up his training lately as he edges closer to fitness.

Symons is therefore likely to stick with the side which secured a fourth win in six matches since he took over last month.
