Team News

Port Vale
Reading
  • Andy Crosby is likely to ring the changes after his side slipped to an embarrassing defeat at Barnsley.
  • Manager Ruben Selles might be tempted to start some of his youngsters that performed excellently at Millwall on Tuesday.
  • Charlie Savage and Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan are two that impressed and have every chance of being picked from the off.

Prediction

  • Andy Crosby might already be feeling the pressure just one game into the campaign after his Port Vale side were hit for seven at Barnsley. Vale did get a confidence-boosting Carabao Cup victory over Fleetwood under their belt in midweek, but it's crucial they get off the mark in League One.
  • Reading were beaten by Peterborough on their third-tier return at a toxic Select Car Leasing Stadium, but a youthful Royals XI restored some belief with a stunning 4-0 win at Millwall in the cup. But much like the hosts, it's important they get up and running here.
