Prediction

Despite a late Alfie May penalty at Birmingham denying Reading a dream start to the season, the 1-1 draw at St Andrew's still represented a step in the right direction.
12 of the Royals' 16 League One wins last term came on their own patch and their home form is likely to be the key to a positive campaign.
Wigan started the season in the worst possible way after an uninspiring performance resulted in a narrow home defeat to Charlton.
The Latics have managed just one victory in their last five trips to Reading.
