Reading boss Ruben Selles has made four changes for this evening's trip to Stockport County, with Saturday's match-winner Sam Smith not involved in any capacity.

Scorer of the only goal in a 1-0 win over Bristol Rovers, the 25-year-old hit his 20th goal in 46 league matches.

However, he misses out entirely as Jayden Wareham, who scored his first league goal for the club in last week's 2-1 win over Exeter City, returns from the start.

Joel Pereira is targeting another clean sheet after his excellent display against the Pirates on Saturday, behind an unchanged back four of Michael Craig, Tyler Bindon, Amadou Mbengue and Andre Garcia.

Charlie Savage replaces Ben Elliott in the midfield, alongside Charlie Savage and Lewis Wing.

Chem Campbell and Adrian Akande start outwide in place of Mamadi Camara and Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan, with Wareham leading the line.

Experienced defender Harlee Dean returns to the bench after missing Saturday's win, with Basil Tuma a forward option off the bench.

Former Reading favourite Oliver Norwood, who played almost 100 times between 2014 and 2016, starts on the bench for the hosts.
