Reading play host to Everton at Madejski Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. Royals lost the only previous game contested between the two teams.
The only previous meeting between Reading and Everton at was way back in the black-and-white days of November 1930, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Second Division match.
