Reading boss Ruben Selles has made nine changes from last week’s 3-2 defeat to Portsmouth for this afternoon’s FA Cup tie against MK Dons.
Joel Pereira makes his Royals debut in goal, as Tivonge Rushesha; Nelson Abbey; Matthew Carson; Sam Hutchinson; Ben Elliott; Caylan Vickers; Paul Mukariu and Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan all come in from the start.
Impressing in cup competitions so far this season, including a record 9-0 win over Exeter City and a 4-0 win over a strong Millwall side, supporters will hope for a similar afternoon against their lower-ranked opponents.
Tyler Bindon and Lewis Wing are the only remaining survivors from last week’s defeat.

Reinforcements sit on the bench, with the likes of Charlie Savage and Harvey Knibbs prepared to enter the fray late on.
The likes of Alex Gilbey; Jonathan Leko and Mo Eisa will be familiar names for Reading fans, with all playing regularly at higher levels.
