Last Time The Teams Met:
The last time these teams met was on Wednesday 24 March 2010 at the Walkers Stadium where Reading came away victorious 1-2 after a late spot kick from Top Goalscorer last season Gylfi Sigurdsson. Jimmy Kebe gave the Royals the lead in the 16th minutes with a smartly place shot through Weale's legs. Martin Waghorn leveled the score in the 40th minute from a well placed shot into the bottom right corner. But in the dying minutes of the game Leicester icon Solano gave away a penalty after bring down Simon Church in the box. Gylfi Sigurdsson as always coolly placed the ball into the bottom corner to win it for The Royals.
