There's more live EFL action on the way on Saturday with 32 fixtures across the three divisions.

We start off with Championship leaders Norwich City hosting Middlesbrough in the lunchtime kick-off before a further nine Championship matches at 15:00 GMT.

Join us from 12:15 GMT to see if Daniel Farke's side can strengthen their grip on top spot or if Neil Warnock can mastermind an upset at Carrow Road.

It's a big win for Reading, who are now in touching distance of the top two.

Bournemouth lose a bit of ground, and wins for Bristol City or Middlesbrough tomorrow would put them level on points.

Plenty of pressure on at the top.

Bournemouth's best first-half outlet was winger Arnaut Danjuma, but his replacement David Brooks was a gamechanger in the second-half.

His runs down the right caused ample problems, and it's testament to the home side's defence that they didn't yield more.

Some cracking football played in that game. Reading's attacking play in the first-half was irresistible.

Lucas Joao led the line, the solid midfield base of Andy Rinomhota and Josh Laurent allowed Ovie Ejaria and John Swift to roam.

The second half was all about Tom McIntyre and Michael Morrison getting boot, body and head on the flurry of crosses that came in.

Points secured.

Reading take three very important points in the Championship to bolster their promotion push against a genuine rival.

It was a performance that highlights all their strengths. The first-half was a riotous delight of attacking football, the second was a display of defensive discipline.

Bournemouth much better after the break, but it was too late.

Bonus points for the playing of the Grandstand theme over the PA at the Madjeski Stadium.

That should have been four!

Royals sub Tomas Esteves who has kept having a pop, curls one from the edge of the box after great work from Sone Aluko to keep the ball alive for Reading.

Then Yakou Meite snaps at the rebound and it's an easy claim.

Bournemouth free-kick sets a few Reading jitters but eventually Rafael takes it in.

Breathe.

Dominic Solanke has had few chances, but couldn't direct his header there.

Tom McIntyre was on his toes, did enough to put the Bournemouth striker off.

Time chewing up.

Bournemouth make a hash of a free-kick and Reading play it quickly to Tomas Esteves.

The Reading full-back thunders into the box but skies his shot wildly.

Poor.

That's a lot of added time.

Yakou Meite is released down the right and drives past Chris Mepham in the Bournemouth box but doesn't make a clear enough decision and his acute angle effort is blocked.

Could have been so much more.

Triple change for Reading.

Michael Olise, Lucas Joao and Tom Holmes come off.

Tomas Esteves, Yakou Meite and Andy Yiadom are on.

Bournemouth bang on the door.

Chris Mepham curls a pass forward to Josh King, who turns and head toward goal before getting a shot away.

Omar Richards slides in to block. Massive.

Jack Wilshere is clipped on the edge of the box by a dogged Josh Laurent and Bournemouth get a free-kick...

It's not quite Chelsea's bus-parking against Barcelona in the Champions League semi that time, but Reading have dug in brilliantly to defend their lead.

The first-half was cutting, attacking beauty. This is an exhibition of discipline.

Josh Laurent proves it by nudging the ball away from David Brooks as Bournemouth threaten the edge of the box.

Michael Olise needing a bit of help with cramp, in the meantime.

Bournemouth have been much better, more spirited and contributed to the game greatly in this second half but gave themselves too much to do.

Junior Stanislas is back in the groove off the bench for Philip Billing.

Philip Billing gets his boot to the ball to shut down a lovely one-touch Reading move.

Bournemouth attack through David Brooks, but the home side have swamped their box with numbers.

Corner comes their way, after Omar Richards gets a foot in on Jack Stacey.

Michael Morrison heads away the resulting corner. Brooks' inswinging-cross is gathered by Rafael.

Ovie Ejaria's night is over, he's off for Sone Aluko.

Bournemouth will bring on Junior Stanislas shortly...

Ovie Ejaria goes down holding his face, Cherries ex-Royals defender Jack Stacey catching him with a thumb and it's a free-kick to Reading.

Dangerous position on the left-side, just outside the box.

He's stayed down for treatment too the Reading man.

Bit of work for Asmir Begovic to do, as Reading press for a fourth.

Lucas Joao tries to play in Michael Olise but it's cut out, so he wraps his foot round it and brings Begovic into play.

The parry falls to Ovie Ejaria, and he drops it off for Josh Laurent, but he shoots right at the Bosnian.
