Head to Head
This will be the 95th meeting of these two sides and it is the Royals that hold the better record winning 34 times to Brighton’s 29 - with 32 ending in a draw. Last season both matches end in stalemate, they played out a 0-0 draw at Madejski Stadium in September with the game at the Amex ending 1-1 with Royston Drenthe getting the goal for the Royals. They also met in the third round of the FA Cup last season, which Brighton won 1-0. When these teams met at the Amex on Boxing Day it finished 2-2 with Glenn Murray getting both goals for the Royals.
Team News
Reading: Reading boss Steve Clarke must decide whether to risk centre-half Alex Pearce, who suffered a broken nose in Saturday's FA draw tie at Bradford. Chris Gunter and Garath McCleary could return to the team after being on the bench at the weekend.
Brighton: Brighton will be without striker Sam Baldock, who looks set to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. Kazenga LuaLua is likely to replace him.
Prediction: Reading 0-1 Brighton
