Team news

Reading will probably have Adrian Williams back for selection which could see Viveash dropped back to the bench. Otherwise the Reading side should be similar to the one that beat Notts County at their place on Saturday.
Oldham will probably feature new signing Chris Armstrong in the squad after the player signed from Bury last week - he'll probably make an appearance from the bench however. Meanwhile Darren Sheridan is back in the team after a four game suspension.

Reading - from:
Whitehead, Murty, Whitbread, Viveash, Williams, Shorey, N.Smith, Harper, Parkinson, Butler, Rougier, Forster, Henderson, Hughes, Cureton, A.Smith, Robinson, Ashdown.

Oldham - from: Kelly, McNiven, Balmer, Holden, Prenderville, Rickers, Tipton, Richards, Duxbury, J.Sheridan, D.Sheridan, Eyres, Armstrong, Gill, Corazzin, Dudley, Eyres.

Oldham wins: 14

2000/2001 Season:
Last season season Reading followed up a 4-0 home stuffing of Brentford with a 5-0 stuffing of Oldham at the Madejski Stadium with Sammy Igoe scoring two of the goals. Happy times indeed. This was followed with a 2-0 away victory later in the season at their place. Lets hope to repeat the 7-0 aggregate win this season too.

12 September 2000: Reading 5 Oldham Athletic 0

1999/2000 Season:

23 October 1999: Oldham Athletic 1 Reading 2
25 September 1999: Reading 1 Oldham Athletic 1
