Reading's 1-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday sent them top of the Championship table, having gained 16 points out of a possible 18 so far this season.
The Royals have not competed in the Premier League since the 2012-13 season but fans will hope that their team can push for promotion again this time around.
Despite manager Paul Warne being absent due to having to self-isolate after a family member contracting coronavirus, Rotherham United have not done too badly performance-wise - although they only have a point to show for their efforts following the international break.
The Millers pushed Norwich close in a 2-1 defeat last Saturday but drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest in midweek.
As a result, they sit 16th after picking up six points in as many Championship games but this weekend is not a match they will be savouring.
Reading vs Rotherham United Head-to-Head
Reading have not lost to Rotherham since April 2015 and furthermore not tasted defeat at home to the Millers since 1977.
The Royals are unbeaten in six games against this weekend's opponents and have suffered just three losses to them in the past 27 years.
This is set to be their 11th Championship encounter in a row, with Reading winning five of the previous 10 and Rotherham, just two.
Reading have come out victorious over Rotherham on 21 occasions and have lost 10 times to their opponents, drawing 16 games overall.
