So far Reading have drawn against Wycombe Wanderers (3-1 on penalties) and lost 2-0 against Chelsea u21s. In order for the Royals to book a place in the next round of the EFL Trophy they would need to win tonight by four goals and not concede.
The Chairboys have already booked their place in the next round, but the young Blues' position is vulnerable as they have five points and only one goal in difference.
