Reading have named a near-full-strength team for the visit of Hull City in what is the final pre-season friendly of the summer.
Having beaten Watford, Queens Park Rangers and Woking so far, and only narrowly losing out to Millwall and Cardiff City, the vibes from supporters are positive heading into the League One campaign next week.
Portuguese goalkeeper Joel Pereira, who was an unused substitute in Cardiff on Wednesday, starts between the sticks.
Michael Craig; Amadou Mbengue; Abraham Kanu and Andre Garcia makes up an inexperienced back line which continues to battle injury woes.
