Leeds United look to go top as they visit Reading at the Madejski Stadium in Tuesday’s big Sky Bet Championship clash.
Reading can temporarily move up a place into 17th position with a win, whereas Leeds will go top if take all three points.
Team news
Embed from Getty ImagesAndy Yiadom is suspended for Reading after picking up his fifth booking of the season in Saturday’s defeat to Brentford.
Sam Baldock (knock) and Lucas Joao (fitness) are unlikely to feature.
Leeds have no fresh injury concerns as Eddie Nketiah remains out with an abdominal injury.
Stat Attack
- Reading have drawn one of their last five meetings with Leeds (W2, D1, L2).
- Leeds picked up three yellow cards in both meetings last season.
- Victory here would see Leeds record consecutive away wins against Reading for the first time.
Prediction
This will be a tough test for Leeds because other than Saturday’s narrow defeat at Brentford, Reading have been in strong form under Mark Bowen with improved attacking play.
I therefore can see a battle in midfield but Leeds have been strong in midweek games this season, so am going for an away win.
Prediction: Reading 1-2 Leeds United
Result: Reading 0-1 Leeds United
