Both teams go into tonight's match in the play-off places.

An away win would send Reading top of the Championship, while a home victory would see QPR leapfrog the Royals and sit level on points with pacesetters Sheffield United and Norwich City.

The Hoops have taken 10 points from their past four games and are unbeaten since losing away at Swansea on September 3.

Reading are looking to make it four games unbeaten themselves, since they were defeated 3-0 by Sunderland at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.
