York City host Rotherham United in the EFL Trophy group stage at the LNER Community Stadium.
York City take on Rotherham United at the LNER Community Stadium on Tuesday 22 September, a group stage tie in the EFL Trophy. It's a mid-week fixture, so it's one of those Tuesday nights that'll bring the football back to the city on a working day.
On the home bench is Scott Lindsey, and he'll be facing up to Alex Bruce, who's in charge of Rotherham. The match is part of the EFL Trophy's group stage, which means it's not a knockout game — both sides play a set of group fixtures, and the top teams move through to the later rounds. It's the kind of game where managers often rotate their squads, giving a run of games to the younger players and those coming back from injury, so it's a good chance to see some of the squad you don't always catch on a Saturday.
Dale Baines will be the man in the middle, taking charge of the game from the centre of the pitch. With the match being a group game, there's a bit more room for the managers to experiment with their line-ups than you'd find in a league clash, and it's often a night where the younger lads get their chance to step up in front of a proper crowd.
