Team News: Emmanuel Ledesma makes first Rotherham start against Blackpool

Striker Emmanuel Ledesma has been handed his first Rotherham United start in their home game against Blackpool.

Also starting are Kirk Broadfoot, Paul Green and Matt Derbyshire, while there are debuts for on-loan signings Reece James, Scott Wootton and Tom Lawrence.

Blackpool have made three changes for the trip to Yorkshire, with Nyron Nosworthy, Kevin Foley and Stuart O'Keefe starting.

Rotherham United: Collin, Wooton, Morgan, Broadfoot, James, Ledesma, Green, Smallwood, Pringle, Derbyshire, Lawrence. Subs: Arnason, Frecklington, Revell, Bowery, Taylor, Clarke-Harris, Thompson.

Blackpool: Lewis, Foley, Nosworthy, Clarke, Kennedy, Eagles, O'Keefe, O'Hara, Perkins, Murphy, Ranger. Subs: Davies, Orlandi, Delfouneso, Miller, Dunne, Parrish, Waddington.
