Match Preview

Reading kept up their unbeaten record in cup competitions this season, beating Stevenage 3-0 on the road in their most recent competitive outing. The Royals' clash with Oxford United was postponed, meaning the well-rested home side are 23rd in League One with no wins to their name.

Mansfield pulled out the surprise result of the season so far on Sunday afternoon as braces from Nathan Moriah-Welsh and Jon Russell capped off a dominant 5-2 home win against a strong Luton side. Before that game, the Stags had suffered back-to-back defeats, conceding six goals in the process.
