From Fulham's first corner, Reading's Tyler Blackett gets his head on the clearance, but can only divert the ball out for another corner.

The hosts deal with the second much better though, and they break.

And then Fulham forward Sone Aluko hits a left-wing cross so high in the sky it almost comes down with snow on it.

Yes, I know it's May, but it was just THAT high.

Fulham's Scott Malone sends in a low cross from the left but Reading clear it away into row Z.

Both sides have started with a relatively-deep defensive line. Reading are seeing most of the ball so far, but mostly in their own half.

The Royals play the corner short and clip it back into the box but it comes to nothing as it's flicked well, well wide.

Chris Gunter wins Reading the first corner of the night as his cross deflects off Floyd Ayite.

There's a slightly nervous, early slip from Fulham defender Tim Ream, as he loses the ball near the left-hand flank, but Reading can't take advantage as he gets up to intercept quickly.

The hosts Reading, in their traditional blue and white kit, get this game started.

The teams head out at the Madejski, which is almost completely full. Blue and White flags are waving in the air all around. The noise is terrific.

Well, if you were looking for a way to sum up the feeling of the fans ahead of tonight's match, funnyman, TV presenter and Fulham die-hard Richard Osman has you covered.

Jordan Robinson: An Everton fan but I also took a liking to Fulham when I moved to London due to a work colleague. Fancy them in 90 mins tonight!  

Kyle Utterson: Reading did well to hold Fulham in the first leg but I think Fulham's attacking quality will tell. 2-0 to the visitors  

Rob Marr: Think Fulham will go up- hitting their form at the right time just like we (Barnsley) did last year! 

A few early predictions coming through, and they are weighted in Fulham's favour...

Fulham found themselves frustrated by Reading's combative approach on Saturday. It was difficult to play their usual expansive game for long periods.

Presumably Reading will have to change their approach at home, and that may allow some of the Cottagers' technical players to contribute more.

Chris Martin - who is on the bench - offers a focal point to the attack and has valuable experience of exactly this sort of occasion. However Fulham were offensively better when he came off on Saturday and Sone Aluko was pushed furthest forward.

You could cut the tension with a knife around this ground tonight.

All day, it's been muggy and sticky and there's rain forecast on the way later.

But, pre-match the stadium looks an absolute picture and the playing surface immaculate.

Every single seat in the home section has been left with either a white or blue flag for Reading supporters to wave and show their colours.

Jaap Stam has bemoaned the lack of an atmosphere at times this season in this ground despite his side's surge to third, can they be the vital 12th man for the hosts tonight?

A number of former Reading and Fulham players have tweeted their support for the clubs they played for.

Most of them being the straight forward kind of emoji-filled messages...

If tonight's atmosphere can match Saturday's at Craven Cottage for intensity then we are in for something special. The tie could not be more finely balanced.

Reading's home record will fill them with confidence, but only Newcastle have been better than Fulham on the road this season.

If this game goes to penalties, the Royals have missed six of their 12 penalties this season, but Fulham's record is even worse. They've missed nine of their 13.

If Reading win they'll be going to the new Wembley for the third time. They were there for the play-off final in 2011, and then again in the FA Cup semi-final in 2015.

Striker Chris Martin is the fall guy for Neeskens Kebano up top after a game where he struggled to impose himself against Reading's physical and pressing approach.

Maybe a bit more pace up front will trouble Reading's back line, but Jaap Stam has overcome the loss of Jordan Obita to injury by slotting defensive midfielder Joey van den Berg into an enforcing role.

The visitors make one change, as Neeskens Kebano starts in place of target man Chris Martin, who is on the bench.

Fulham: Bettinelli, Fredericks, Kalas, Ream, Malone, McDonald, Johansen, Kebano, Cairney (c), Ayite, Aluko.

Subs: Button, Odoi, Sessegnon, Parker, Piazon, Martin, Cyriac.

Reading are without suspended captain Paul McShane after his red card on Saturday, while their first-leg goal scorer, Jordan Obita (ankle), misses out.

Those two changes see Tiago Llori and Joey van den Berg come in.

Reading: Al-Habsi, Gunter (c), Blackett, Ilori, Moore, Van den Berg, Evans, Williams, Swift, Grabban, Kermorgant. 

Subs: Jaakkola, Beerens, Mendes, McCleary, Popa, Gravenberch, Kelly.

These two sides could not be separated in Saturday's rowdy first leg at Craven Cottage.

Reading played the last 10 minutes with 10 men after Paul McShane saw red for a dangerous tackle on Kevin McDonald, but that was only after Tom Cairney's header for Fulham had cancelled out Jordan Obita's drilled second-half opener.

You can read Adam Williams' full match report here but, suffice to say, things are evenly balanced ahead of tonight's second leg.
