The Royals host already promoted Burnley in the Championship at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.

Here is everything you need to know.

Form

A 92nd minute winner for Preston North End last time out meant the end of Paul Ince’s reign as Reading boss, after being sacked from his position a day later.

It looked as though the Royals were heading for their fourth consecutive 1-1 draw, after Kelvin Ehibhationham equalised for Ince’s side with less than ten minutes to play.

However, Brad Potts scored in the closing moments, meaning Reading remain one point off safety with just five games left to play in the Championship.

The defeat at Deepdale also means that Reading are now with just one win in their last ten matches, something interim boss Noel Hunt will be looking to change in the remaining games.

His first hurdle does not get much more difficult. His side face an already promoted Burnley team who are destined for the title in their remaining games.

Team News

Several players could be missing for the last few games under new man Noel Hunt.

Ovie Ejaria and Baba Rahman could be out for the next few games, whilst Shane Long is also a doubt.

Tom Ince, Tom McIntyre and Junior Hoilett are also doubts with Dean Bouzanis also likely to miss out for the rest of the season.

Last Time Out: Burnley 2-1 Reading; Saturday, October 29, 2022

 A 94th minute winner at Turf Moor broke Reading hearts, as Burnley claimed all three points against the Royals.

It was Paul Ince’s side who took the lead through his son, Tom Ince, who scored the opener for the Royals in the 56th minute to give them real hope against the runaway leaders.

However, Manuel Benson grabbed an equaliser for Burnley ten minutes later, before a 94th minute winner by Anass Zaroury ensured the Clarets claimed all the points back in October.
