Team news for our meeting on Teesside

Matej Vydra is the only change to Reading's starting XI, coming in to replace Yann Kermorgant who misses out on the squad to face Middlesbrough.

Reading: Al-Habsi, Gunter, Obita, Cooper, McShane (c), Norwood, Williams, Quinn, Piazon, Vydra, Cox.
Subs: Bond, Taylor, Evans, Hector, McCleary, John, Rakels.
