Would take a point tonight personally - Reading missing a few players, but their youngster Olise is getting rave reviews and they are a solid side. Just got a bit of a bad gut feeling about this one though...
Good news to hear that Krul might be back for the weekend, I think McGovern has done fine stepping in personally, exactly what you would want from a backup. Rupp is missed a fair bit I think, he was very good at the start of the season in his best role, hopefully this injury layoff doesn't hamper his progress.
Also good news on Dowell - not sure if he is fully fit for tonight, but might be able to play a part? Clearly he was first choice for that no.10 role in early season and brought in to play there, I would expect when he is 100% he will slot in and hopefully can provide us some goals from midfield.
And rare good news on Xavi - have to admit I thought we might not see him again! Sorenson has done fine there, but I do think having a proper left back in will be good for the balance of the side, and obviously means Sorenson can also play some in his natural position.
