Reading boss Paul Ince has not hidden the fact that there are going to be changes for their FA Cup third round tie with Watford.
Here are five players who are in with a shout of featuring against the Hornets.
Dean Bouzanis
The summer signing from Sutton United has already appeared five times for the first team this season, including four times in the Championship.
Struggling to break past Joe Lumley for league fixtures, the cup is where the Aussie can stamp his authority as the Royals hope to progress far.
Kelvin Abrefa
An Under-21 regular, the full-back has impressed in his brief first team appearances and should fill in for the rested Junior Hoilett or Andy Yiadom.
Still only 19, the right-sided youngster needs first team experiences like this to progress.
Liam Moore
The polar opposite to Abrefa, Moore is a former club captain with over 200 club appearances to his name already.
Missing for almost a calendar year through injury, the Jamaica international played 45 minutes in a friendly and could step this up with cup action.
🙌 The trophy lift 😊

Kian Leavy
The 20-year-old has been progressing with the club for four years and has developed into a standout performer for the youth sides.
However, now heneeds first team opportunities, none so better than against the Hornets on Saturday.
Femi Azeez
A fan favourite, the attacker made his long-awaited comeback in a short cameo at the Hawthorns on Saturday, but a chance to get 90 minutes in the tank against Championship opponents is surely on the cards.
With two Championship goals to his name last season, Azeez needs to get back playing.
