Reading face a trip to Millwall at The Den on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Royals will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 23 and win only 6 of the 41 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in February 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a League Division One match.
