Reading welcome Fulham to the Select Car Leasing Stadium for this match in the Championship. The hosts are in 22nd position with 21 points while the visitors are top of the league with 45 points. Both team are coming into this match on the back of defeats. Reading lost 1-0 to West Brom away from home. They now have just one win in their last five matches and could very soon find themselves in the relegation zone as they are just two points above the drop zone. Reading’s overall home record this season is fairly decent with four losses and three draws to go with four wins. It is their most recent home matches that have been moist disturbing as they have failed to win at home in their last five matches. Reading are looking for three straight wins against Fulham for the first time since 1990.

Fulham were on a twelve game unbeaten run before losing to Sheffield United in their last match. Despite that loss they are still leading the league but their lead has been cut to just two points. Their long unbeaten run is slightly misleading as they have drawn their last four matches before the loss. Fulham have gained just four points from their last five matches and when you compare them to third placed Blackburn Rovers who have gained 15 points in the same period, you realize the magnitude of the leaders dip in form. Fulham have scored a league high 27 goals on the road this season and have only failed to score once away from home.
