Reading team news

Midfielder Lewis Wing, who reduced the margin of defeat in the sides' previous meeting, should secure his place in the starting lineup given his recent performances.

Additionally, Mamadi Camara made a strong impression by scoring in the last encounter. A start for the Bissau-Guinean could be warranted.

Wimbledon team news

Last time around, Mathew Stevens and Marcus Browne registered their names on the scoresheet for the visitors. However, the likes of Danilo Orsi-Dadomo and Antwoine Hackford could be pushing for a start in attack here.
