Leeds United - v - Reading ***Matchday Thread***

[BelfastAndy]

Leeds United pair Pontus Jansson and Eunan O'Kane have been passed fit for the home game against Reading.

Defender Jansson missed both of Sweden's World Cup qualifiers after badly bruising his arm, while O'Kane is set to recover from a rib injury.

Reading will be without defender Jordan Obita after the full-back was ruled out for the season following anterior cruciate ligament surgery.

Midfielders Stephen Quinn (knee) and John Swift (hamstring) are also out.

Reading manager Jaap Stam told BBC Radio Berkshire:

"Leeds have done well so far this season, they're a difficult team to face at home. They've got a good feeling despite losing the past two games and they'll want to have a result at home.

"They play in a certain way, slightly differently to last season as well, they want to play a bit more football.

"They've got a good team, but for us we want to get a good result as well and do the things that we can do very well."

Cardiff lost to Birmingham and bristol drew with Burton, both dropping points, if we win today and our other top 6 rivals drop points we are back in contention again, albeit I don't think we've been out of contention so far. 2-0 to Leeds today I reckon. MOT!!!

Cooper ahead of Pennington. Really? No change in centre of midfield? Strange line up I think hope it comes good.

Vieira not even on the bench, is he injured ?
