One cup competition left following Selles latest masterplan. Charlton are in town as Reading attempt to progress through the knockout rounds of the Bristol Street Motors Trophy. Charlton have already beaten Reading at The Valley in the league and will presumably fancy their chances again though whether they'll field as strong a side in this competition as they would in the league remains to be seen.
Previously Charlton haven't played their first XI in this competition but now they're into the knockout rounds they might start taking it more seriously so there could be places for the likes of Alfie May, Tennai Watson and Michael Hector. Meanwhile we can be fairly certain Selles will go with another experimental mix of "god knows what" like he did when throwing away a chance to make a small bit of money for the club on Sunday.
Penalties will follow if the scores are level at 90 minutes as there must be a winner on the night to take themselves into the next regionalised knockout round.
The game can be followed via BBC Berks and RoyalsTV if you can't be arsed to go.
Referee
Peter Wright
