Ruben Selles has made three changes from Saturday’s 4-0 defeat to Charlton Athletic for tonight’s first-ever meeting with Fleetwood Town.
Impressing for an hour, the floodgates opened late on as the Royals made it 19 away matches without defeat.
The Cod Army, who sit one place and two points above Reading, have lost two successive matches under Lee Johnson.
Charlie Savage, Mamadi Camara and Dom Ballard both come in from the start, with Michael Craig, Femi Azeez and Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan dropping to the bench.
David Button remains between the sticks, with Tyler Bindon; Nelson Abbey; Harlee Dean and Nesta Guinness-Walker all keeping their places from the weekend.
