Aleksandar Mitrovic was in fine form last time out as his brace helped Fulham hammer an improving Birmingham side 4-1 on their travels. The London club have won five of their opening seven league games this season and currently lead the way at the top of the table. An impressive display from Watford loanee Tom Dele-Bashiru helped Reading claim a much-needed victory in midweek as they cruised to a 3-1 home win against a struggling Peterborough side. That result ended a run of four league games without a win, but this game represents a seriously tough test for the Royals. 3:0
Marco Silva could make a single change for the visit of Reading with winger Ivan Cavaleiro pushing to replace Bobby DeCordova-Reid. Fabio Carvalho is carrying a knock and remains a doubt for Saturday's clash. Luke Southwood will keep his place in between the sticks with first-choice Rafael sidelined with a hand injury. New signings Scott Dann and Danny Drinkwater both remain doubtful as they continue to build up their fitness levels. Club captain Liam Moore suffered an injury against Peterborough last time out so expect Tom Holmes to start for the visitors.
