All you need to know ahead of Saturday evening's fixture at Madejski Stadium...
Reading vs Norwich City
Saturday 30th September 2017
Sky Bet Championship
Madejski Stadium
5.30pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports
Norwich City sit in a deceptive position in mid-table as things stand in the Championship, having gone unbeaten through the whole of September so far...
The Canaries come to the Madejski on Saturday following an inconspicuous first few matches of the season, with hefty defeats at Aston Villa and Millwall painting a false picture of their current form.
Norwich boss Daniel Farke has got his side playing compact football that has proven to be tough to break down, with the Yellows not having conceded a goal in 468 minutes of football heading into Saturday.
Conversely, the Royals have gone unbeaten in their last six at home against Saturday's opponents, with every Reading player and fan hoping for a seventh heading into the latest international break.
