Glenn Murray has returned to the Reading side for this afternoon's Championship clash at home to struggling Blackpool.
The former Palace frontman is the only change from the Royals side that were beaten 3-0 by Bournemouth in midweek, with Nick Blackman dropping to the bench.
Similarly, the visitors have made just one change. Blackpool captain Tony McMahon misses out through suspension and has been replaced by Francois Zoko.
Bottom side Blackpool have won just one game all season, while Reading have lost their last three games.
Reading: Federici, Gunter, Obita, Pearce, Hector, Akpan, Norwood, Robson-Kanu, Mackie, Cox, Murray
Blackpool: Lewis, Daniels, Clarke, Rentmeister, Perkins, Orlandi, Lundstram, Zoko, Delfouneso, E Oriol, Miller
