Reading will be hoping for a repeat performance of their latest victory over a local rival after smashing Swindon Town 4-0 on Tuesday night. Oxford are riding high in second place in the League One table after winning 9 of their opening 11 league fixtures - so should offer a tougher fixture.
Reading have won the last five fixtures played between the Royals and Oxford United.
