Reading will be keen to collect some points after last Saturday's game was postponed at Luton due to a frozen pitch. Port Vale would have wished their game was called off after going down 2-3 away at Rotherham despite looking good for a point away from home. Before that Vale collected the full three points at Swindon town, and last Tuesday successfully went through to the next round of the LDV Vans trophy with a 2-0 home win over Chester while the Royals were put out, 0-1, at Swansea.

Port Vale are currently four places off the bottom of the Second Division table with only seven goals scored away from home in the league all season.
