READING FC will look to continue their superb home record when they host Queens Park Rangers in the Championship.
The Royals currently have the fourth best home record which is in contrast to their away form, which is the third worst in the division.
Paul Ince’s side have collected 25 points at the Select Car Leasing Stadium with eight wins, one draw and three defeats.
In the reverse fixture, Reading lost out in West London after Lyndon Dykes netted a double for Rangers.
Andy Carroll put the Royals ahead from the penalty spot, but a brace from the QPR forward ensured that they took three points.
QPR were under the management of Michael Beale at the time, who has since left the club to join Rangers despite only being appointed by the Championship team in the summer.
After being linked with a move to Premier League Wolves, Beale reportedly turned down the chance to join them only to depart for Scotland a month later.
Neil Critchley took over as the new QPR boss in December.
QPR go into the contest one place above the Royals in the table, only leading them on goal difference.
Rangers have 36 points with 10 wins, six draws and 10 losses.
On their last visit to Berkshire, QPR picked up a point with a last minute equaliser.
Reading did have a 3-2 lead going into stoppage time after a magnificent hat-trick from John Swift, but the visitors ensured they snatched a point with Stefan Johansen’s 91st minute leveller.
The hosts will be expect to have a mostly fit first-team squad after Sam Hutchinson returned from injury in Reading’s FA Cup tie.
They will be hoping that Tom Holmes will have recovered from illness to make the matchday squad, while Ovie Ejaria is also expected to return to full training this week.
However, they will be without Liam Moore after he picked up a hamstring injury which ruled him out of making a return against Watford last weekend after eight months on the sidelines.
