Reading, on the other hand, are winless in their last three games, having shared the spoils against Norwich City before losing to Queens Park Rangers (2-1) and West Brom. The Royals’ last win came against Huddersfield (3-1) on October 1 courtesy of McIntyre’s opener, Lee Nicholls’ own goal and Yakoue Meite’s 81st-minute strike
