The Rams are officially the worst side to play in the Premier League, their points tally, even if they win this one, will be the worst in the history of the league. The Royals need a win here and will hope that Fulham fail to beat Portsmouth. Reading's recent form has been woeful – they are without a win in six although Derby have only won one game all season so this game may be short of quality but it is massive for Reading. Reading have failed to score in their last six games and they desperately need their misfiring forwards to find the net, when these two teams met in October, Kevin Doyle scored the winner.
