Reading take on Fulham in the second leg of their play off semi-final.

After a tight first leg, Reading will be hoping their defensive work and organisation will be enough to edge them through to the play off final at Wembley this season. The Royals have been hard to beat all season, and a lot of this has come down to the excellent tactical work of new manager, Jaap Stam.

The Royals had taken the lead in the first fixture, thanks to a goal from Jordan Obita. Reading will be without captain Paul McShane for this fixture through suspension.

Fulham will be likely going into the fixture as the more confident of the two sides, after their comeback in the first leg. The Cottagers had trailed 0-1, but an equaliser from Tom Cairney kept Slavisa Jokanovic’s side very much in the picture for promotion.

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic has no new injury doubts and could name the same starting line-up. Defenders Ragnar Sigurdsson (calf) and Michael Madl (ankle) remain out but could return if Fulham manage to make it to Wembley.

Fulham, who have never scored more than one goal in a play off match, will be hoping that this is the year the club finally makes a return to the Premier League.
