Leeds United travel to Reading on Tuesday night looking for a fourth consecutive win for the first time this season.
The Royals lost to Brentford at the weekend but won three of their four previous games and have won their last three home matches.
Reading will host Leeds without defender Andy Yiadom after he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Brentford. The right back, who was a target for Leeds United during Paul Heckingbottom's tenure, has started all of Reading's matches this season to date.
The most obvious replacement would be veteran defender Chris Gunther and if he does get the nod, it will be the first time he has appeared for Reading this season.
Injury wise, Reading will be without left back Jordan Obita. Obita has made a comeback this season after a 703-day absence following an ACL injury. He scored against Millwall earlier this month but has been missing with a new injury since that game.
Royals boss Mark Bowen said: "Jordan Obita will be hoping to come back into training next week - Leeds will be too close but certainly after that."
Lucas Joao has been out since October and although he is back in training, it looks as though the Leeds match has come too soon for him. The 26-year-old forward, signed in the summer from Sheffield Wednesday, has a foot injury.
Another absentee will be Charlie Adam who is out with a hamstring injury. The 34-year-old midfielder has been a bit-part player for Reading so far this season.
The club were boosted by the return of Argentine striker Lucas Boye who featured on the bench against Brentford. Boye had a groin injury which kept him out for a month but could be ready for a start against Leeds.
