ACADEMY graduate Jordan Obita says Reading FC are confident of securing a result against Burton Albion at the Madejski Stadium this weekend.

The Royals welcome the Brewers (3pm ko), who have enjoyed an sensational rise from non-league football to the Championship in the last seven years.

Several members of Reading's first team squad returned to Hogwood Park from their respective international duties this week, and Obita insists the players are ready to return to Championship action.

“The coaching staff have done some analysis on Burton and we’ve been working on shape early in the week deciding on how we will set up against them,” asserted the 22-year-old.

“What Burton have done has happened a few times in recent years with small clubs coming through the leagues and doing really well. But we’re at home and we want to dominate the game from the start. We want that three points and we really do need it as well.

“We want to win every single game, even if we draw that is points on the table,” he continued. “If we go into Saturday and are positive and play the way we have been playing then we have a good chance.”

Paul McShane, Sandro Wieser, Chris Gunter and John Swift were among the players to be called into action for their countries during the international break. However, Obita insists the players who were not called up have continued to work hard on Reading's game-plan.

“We’ve been on a great run, maybe the international break even came at the wrong time for us,” admitted Obita. “We’ve been working hard throughout the week though and are looking forward to Saturday so hopefully we can get that positive result.”

"It’s been a tough routine through the week, quite a few running drills and possession drills to keep us going and ticking over. We’ve had some time off over the week as well which is important so we can get that rest. We came back into training on Monday and we’re ready to go."
