Fulham recorded their second 7-0 victory of the season when they travelled to Berkshire in midweek, piling the misery onto a Reading side who are having a season to forget under Veljko Paunovic. That result has elevated the Cottagers into second place, within touching distance of league leaders Bournemouth. Bristol City boss Nigel Pearson named seven academy graduates in his starting XI last time out as a youthful Robins side edged out Millwall in a five-goal thriller. That result was the perfect reaction to back-to-back league defeats and keeps the visitors out of the clutches of the relegation battle. 3:0
