Reading are ready to welcome Queens Park Rangers to Madejski Stadium at tea-time on Saturday, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having chalked up an impressive 25 wins out of 37 previous matches.

The previous match played between the two at Madejski Stadium was within the last three years, in April 2006, the Royals carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Championship match.
