Norwich City boss Dean Smith has highlighted set pieces as a potential decisive factor in their clash with Reading tomorrow.
The Canaries, fresh off the back of a 1-0 win over Blackpool, travel to Berkshire to face a high-flying Royals side who have lost just once at home.
Second versus third face off in RG2, with both side having the opportunity to hit the summit with a win.
Speaking to the media, former Aston Villa manager Smith assessed the threat posed by Reading.
"I've watched a couple of their games already. Our analysts have done a presentation on them as well so we've got a good feel for what they're about," he said.
"Reading are a danger from set-pieces. A big, strong team."
Paul Ince's side have netted six of their 13 leageu goals from set-pieces.
However, they have had occasional matches where the opposition have run ragged- conceding threes and fours to Rotherham United, Sheffield United and Sunderland.
Commenting on their goals against, Smith added: "They've been good but they've been hit at times, 3-0 at Rotherham, 4-0 at Sheffield United but their home record has been very good."
