West Bromwich Albion travel to the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Saturday afternoon for a Sky Bet Championship fixture with high-flying Reading (ko 3pm).

Our opponents
The Royals have made a really bright start to the 2022/23 campaign and sit just a few points off the top of the Sky Bet Championship table ahead of kick-off this weekend.
Saturday's hosts boast the division's best home record, winning five of their seven matches played in the league at the Select Car Leasing Stadium, losing just once.
Paul Ince, who took over in February this year after not managing since being at Blackpool between February 2013 and January 2014, steered Reading to safety last season and has helped his side hit the ground running this term.
The Royals have finished in the bottom half of the second tier in six of the last eight campaigns, but they'll be quietly confident they can earn a spot in the top half this time around and will be buoyed by their impressive start.
The head into Saturday's clash without a win in their last two though, drawing 1-1 at home to Norwich before losing 2-1 at QPR last Friday night.
From the Albion Archive
The Baggies came from behind to win 2-1 at Reading in February 2020.
George Puscas' early penalty gave the hosts the lead but Matheus Pereira equalised before the break for Albion.
And the three points were secured when Kyle Bartley looped a header into the far corner just four minutes into the second period.
One for the stattos
Albion have the opportunity to extend their unbeaten run against Reading to seven games this weekend.
The Baggies have won all of the last three and four of the last six, with the other two games ending in draws.
The last Reading triumph in this fixture was in the FA Cup back in February 2016 when they progressed with a 3-1 home win over Tony Pulis' side.
Colours for the road
The Baggies will wear red at Reading on Saturday. Albion last donned their third kit in the 2-2 draw at Huddersfield back in August.
