Seeking to address their alarming slide towards the bottom three, Plymouth Argyle will make the long trip to the New York Stadium for a Championship clash against rock-bottom Rotherham United on Monday afternoon.
The Pilgrims are on the brink of entering the relegation places following a 1-0 defeat to Bristol City, sitting in 21st place in the table and desperately needing all three points to ease the pressure about an instant return to League One.
The Millers, meanwhile, are destined for League One football next season, with it merely being a matter of when not if. Still, they are trying to finish respectably and secured an astonishing come-from-behind late victory over Millwall last time out.
Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Plymouth team news
Plymouth Argyle will be starting life without Ian Foster as their head coach after the 47-year-old was sacked by the club last night following the Pilgrims' 1-0 loss to Bristol City at Home Park. Director of football Neil Dewsnip has taken his place on interim charge and is tasked with trying to end a six-game winless streak.
Dewsnip could opt to shuffle his pack drastically for this encounter, with the likes of Julio Pleguezuelo, Joe Edwards, Adam Randell, Mickel Miller and Mustapha Bundu all vying for a return to the starting XI. However, Alfie Devine will be unavailable, as he's suspended after collecting two yellow cards against Bristol City.
Plymouth Argyle predicted XI: Hazard; Galloway, Phillips, Gibson; Mumba, Randell, Roberts, Miller; Whittaker, Wright; Hardie
Position | Players |
---|---|
Goalkeepers: | Cooper, Baker, Hazard, Burton |
Defenders: | Galloway, Mumba, Gillesphey, Edwards, Halls, Gibson, Earley, Kesler-Hayden, Pleguezuelo, Scarr |
Midfielders: | Houghton, Azaz, Warrington, Miller, Wright, Butcher, Randell, Roberts, Cundle |
Forwards: | Wright, Bundu, Hardie, Whittaker, Waine, Issaka |
