Reading will look back to get back to winning ways on Saturday as they host QPR at the Madejski.

Below we look at everything you need to know about the R’s before the match.

Recent Form

The epitome of mid-table, Mark Warburton’s side have won three of their last four matches and are marooned in 12th placed- 12 points off of the top six and 17 points clear of relegation.

A side which has had to massively cut back on squad spending since an FFP fine in 2017, former Brentford boss Warburton has led the side to comfortable Championship life.

Last time out they beat London rivals Millwall 3-2 despite going two goals down in the first half.

In the earlier fixture between the two sides Reading left the Kyian Prince Foundation Stadium with a 1-0 win courtesy of birthday boy Michael Olise’s last minute winner.

Overall the two sides have met 97 times since first meeting in 1908, with Reading edging the head-to-head 42 wins to 31.

Team News

For the Royals both Andy Rinomhota and Ovie Ejaria made second half cameo’s in Wednesday’s 2-1 defeat to Birmingham City and so may start on Saturday.

For the away side midfield duo Ilias Chair and Sam Field may return after brief appearances last time out.

Key Player

On loan striker Charlie Austin has certainly hit the ground running on his return to West London with six goals in 14 appearances.

The Hungerford-born former Academy player scored 48 goals in 89 appearances for QPR from 2013 to 2016.

Attacking midfielder Chair has also made a big impact this season with nine goal contributions, the most of anyone in the squad this season.
