In the first of a Yorkshire trilogy,the Millers arrive in Cov not having won a league match so far and only having scored twice in eight league games.
Now, many might go for this as a home banker but Sky Blue slip-ups against teams bottom of the table and struggling are legendary (Carlisle and Stoke City are just two examples) and Peter Reid will want to avoid this.
The Millers earned a 1-1 draw at Highfield Road last season in a game which ruled City out of the play-off places and effectively cost Eric Black his job. In the twelve matches played at Highfield Road, Rotherham have won twice and drawn three times although they have not won in any of their last six visits.
Reid is expected to keep faith with the side that conceded two late goals to draw with Gillingham with his only doubt being Neil Wood who has a hamstring strain.
Rotherham boss Ronnie Moore who watched a number of City Reserve matches last season, is likely to include Michael Proctor who scored twice in a Millers midweek reserve game against Stoke City.
Also likely to make the game is Richie Barker who was stretchered off in the game with West Ham. A serious injury was fears but it turned out to be a compressed nerve.
Tickets are available for the game which kicks off at 3pm.
