Reading prepare to entertain Leeds United at Madejski Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 4 previous games, with the Royals winning just 1.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Madejski Stadium was just last season, in October 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
