We’re live at Maedjski Stadium this afternoon for what marks the return of Brian McDermott as manager of the Royals.
And his first game back in the Royals’ dugout is against in-form Blackburn Rovers, who arrive in Berkshire unbeaten in eight games and still enjoying the honeymoon period a new manager so often brings themselves, with the visitors now under the command of former Aston Villa and Norwich City boss Paul Lambert.
Stay with us for all the latest team news and build-up before the action gets underway at 3pm.
