Rotherham United play host to Preston North End at the New York Stadium in round 37 of the EFL Championship on Tuesday.
The Lilywhites will head into the midweek clash looking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win their last six meetings since November 2016.
Rotherham United were denied their first away win since November as they fell to a 2-0 loss at Birmingham City on Saturday.
Prior to that, the Robins were on a three-game unbeaten run, picking up two wins and one draw in that time.
With 40 points from 36 games, Rotherham are currently 20th in the Championship table, just six points above the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Preston North End turned in a superb team performance as they picked up a 2-0 win over Cardiff City on Saturday.
The Lilywhites have now gone six consecutive games without defeat, picking up two wins and four draws in that time.
With 50 points from 36 games, Preston North End are currently 12th in the league table, but could move level on points with ninth-placed Coventry City with a win on Tuesday.
