    Team News


    Wayne Bridge, Billy Sharp and Danny Williams could return to the Reading squad for the visit of QPR in the Championship on Saturday.

    Left-back Bridge is fit after missing last weekend's 5-2 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday with a knee injury and striker Sharp has shaken off the groin problem which has restricted him to just three minutes of action since joining on loan from Southampton in September.

    USA midfielder Williams is also back in training after missing the last seven matches with a foot injury.

    But winger Royston Drenthe (foot) remains sidelined along with long-termers Jem Karacan (cruciate), Jason Roberts (hip) and Mikele Leigertwood (ankle).

    QPR will be without Alejandro Faurlin for the live Sky Sports encounter.

    Argentinian midfielder Faurlin suffered a cruciate injury during last weekend's 2-1 win over Derby and is likely to miss the rest of the season.

    He is added to a growing injury list which also includes Nedum Onuoha, Niko Kranjcar (both hamstring), Tom Carroll (ankle) and Bobby Zamora (knee).

    But Gary O'Neil could replace Faurlin in midfield if he shakes off the couple of knocks which saw him rested last Saturday while forgotten man Samba Diakite may also be added to the squad after playing for the reserves this week.

    Adkins v Redknapp​



    Reading
    • Fifth-placed Reading have won only one of their last five, but still find themselves five points up on this same stage in the season before last when they finished top of the table and were promoted to the Premier League.
    • The Royals are one of six clubs still unbeaten at home in the Championship (W4, D3).
    • They have scored a stoppage-time goal in four of their last eight league games.
    • This is their third match against a top-six club and the first at home; they are still searching for a first point.

    Queens Park Rangers
    • Victory from this early kick-off would see QPR returning to the top of the table.
    • After winning eight of the first 10, Rangers picked up their first victory in four with last Saturday's a 2-1 home triumph over Derby.
    • Harry Redknapp's side is also still to bag a first point against a fellow top-six club.
    • The west London club have kept an unrivalled nine clean sheets and have only conceded seven goals, giving them the meanest defence in the Football League.
    • Rangers and Blackpool are the only clubs not to have taken a deficit into the second-half of a Championship game this season.

    Great work again mate. Although Harry apparently has said that Onuoha and Kranjcar may be available.

    O'Neil in for Ale is the only change. Hopefully he will be more effective playing inside rather than out wide.
