Reading have made two changes from last week's 2-2 draw with Barnsley for tonight's home clash with Cambridge United.

The U's are struggling in the relegation zone of League One but have drawn three successive matches prior to Saturday's FA Cup exit at the hands of Wigan Athletic.

The Royals needed extra time to progress past non-league Harborough Town on Sunday but remain with plenty of faces from the match less than 48 hours ago.

Joel Pereira comes back in between the sticks, behind a back four of Michael Craig; Tyler Bindon; a returning Amadou Mbenuge and Jeriel Dorsett.

Lewis Wing remains in the heart of the midfield, as captain, with Sunday's star man Charlie Savage and Ben Elliott.

Former Cambridge favourite Sam Smith returns after having a weekend off, with Sunday's match-winner Chem Campbell back in from the start alongside Mamadi Camara.

Harvey Knibbs, who made over 150 appearances for the U's, is on the bench after struggling with a knee injury.

Reading, in the best home form of the entire Football League, have won 10 of their 11 home matches so far this season.

Last season, Garry Monk's U's were dispatched 4-0 by a resurgent Reading who finished 17th in League One.

Former Reading captain Michael Morrison returns to the Select Car Leasing Stadium as skipper of his hometown club.
