The Royals host Rotherham United at the Select Car Leasing Stadium in the Championship.

Here is everything you need to know.

 

Form

Sunderland proved too much for Reading at the weekend, after the Black Cats scored late on to take all three points against the Royals.

Patrick Roberts scored the winning goal in the 84th minute to take Sunderland to within one point of the Championship play-offs. It is Roberts’ third goal of the season against Reading, after the former Manchester City youngster scored a brace against Reading in the reverse fixture.

It also means that Paul Ince’s side remain without a league win in Championship in 2023, with their only competitive coming against Watford in the FA Cup.

They come up against a much-improved Rotherham United side of late, with the Millers unbeaten in their last four league games.

Matt Taylor’s side have also kept two clean sheets in their last two games, after picking up 0-0 draws against Blackpool and high-flying Sheffield United.

Tuesday’s visitors will be looking to turns draws into wins, starting with the Royals this week.
