Match Preview

Reading were heading for all three points at Adams Park last time out before Danny Ings netted a 90th-minute equaliser on his Wycombe debut. The Royals are just outside of the play-off places after losing just one of their last six League One games.

Bradford head into Saturday's contest at the Select Car Leasing Stadium as the League One leaders following their third straight league win last time out. The Bantams, who have since lost manager Graham Alexander to Preston, beat Luton 1-0 in their most recent League One outing.
