Reading
- Gaston Ramirez is expected to be back in time to play, but could miss out after being granted leave by the club to return to Uruguay for family reasons.
- If he is not back then Jay Rodriguez could start behind Rickie Lambert.
- Daniel Fox is still recovering from a knee injury but could be in contention for Luke Shaw's left-back spot.
- Danny Guthrie is nearing a return to action after a thigh injury, but his apparent falling out with Brian McDermott may delay any comeback.
- Chris Gunter has joined the Reading injury list, missing the loss to Manchester United last week, so Shaun Cummings will continue at right back.
- Jimmy Kebe stands an outside chance of recovering in time to play, but Robson-Kanu will most likely start.
- Pogrebnyak is a doubt after picking up a knock for the reserves.
