North End’s 2019 efforts begin with a Roses clash, as we head across the Pennines to South Yorkshire to face Paul Warne’s Rotherham United at the New York Stadium on New Year’s Day afternoon.
The Lilywhites ended 2018 with an excellent performance against Aston Villa at the weekend, which included a first goal for Lukas Nmecha and debuts for youth team prospects Adam O’Reilly and Ethan Walker.
The Millers had a tough ending to the year, losing narrowly to Bristol City and ending the game with nine-men, former North End stalwart Billy Jones one of those to see red, meaning he will miss the clash with his former team.
The two sides met back in October and fought out a draw, sharing two goals, in a really tough encounter and exactly the same will be expected as the team’s go toe to toe again.
