We say: Rotherham United 1-0 Morecambe

With both managers likely to make wholesale changes for this cup tie, we do not expect to see a great deal of quality played out at AESSEAL New York Stadium on Tuesday. However, the hosts will be determined to gain revenge on Morecambe after suffering defeat to them in this competition last season, and we expect them to get the job done in the form of a tight victory.
