Reading boss Ruben Selles has made one change for this afternoon’s trip to Lincoln City, with Academy graduate Caylan Vickers replaced by Copenhagen loanee Paul Mukariu in the front three.
The Royals drew 1-1 with Oxford United on Tuesday, with six Academy graduates named from the start in the highly anticipated Thames Valley Derby.
Making a first trip to Sincil Bank since 1999, Selles has opted to keep the majority of the team which has picked up four points in the last three matches.
David Button is between the sticks, protected by an unchanged back four of Andy Yiadom; Nelson Abbey; Tom Holmes and Jeriel Dorsett.
An unchanged midfield of Michael Craig; Harvey Knibbs and Lewis Wing are tasked with supplying a pacy front three of Mukariu; Sam Smith and Femi Azeez.
Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan, Ben Elliott and Charlie Savage provide options from the bench.
Former Royals triallist Olamide Shodipo, who scored for the club over the summer, is on the bench for the Imps as they make four changes.
