Rotherham United host Reading at the New York Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday, looking to continue their unbeaten start to their 2022-23 season.
The Millers have collected four points from their opening two games in the league, while also beating Port Vale in the first round of the EFL Cup on Wednesday.
Reading, meanwhile, got off to a rocky start, losing 1-0 to Blackpool on the opening day but recovered on matchday two with a 2-1 defeat of Cardiff City.
However, the Royals couldn't build on the momentum and went down 2-1 to Stevenage in the cup as their form looks erratic right now.
