Reading may be without Nicky Forster who is currently struggling with a groin strain. Glenn Little and Paul Brooker should be fine after suffering from cramp on their comeback in midweek at Oxford. Steve Coppell is likely to revert back to the team that faced Rotherham after he made a number of changes for the Cup game at Oxford. Its likely to see Andy Hughes drop to the bench and Dave Kitson to resume back upfront alongside Nicky Forster if fit. Otherwise Shaun Goater is favourite to take his place after playing well in the week. Millwall have a number of players out injured including start player Paul Ifill. Midfield duo Kevin Muscot and Andy Roberts currently have knee injuries while Belgium, Bob Peeters has a broken foot. Millwall Key Player - Jody Morris | |||||
