Rotherham U. prepare to entertain Sheffield United at Millmoor Ground on Tuesday evening, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, winning just 3 of the 14 games played, and losing 8.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Millmoor Ground was just last season, in February 2003, with Sheff. Utd. inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Merry Millers in a League Division One match.
