Team News: Will Keane retains Preston North End place

Will Keane continues up top for Preston North End alongside Joe Garner as they host Reading in the Championship.

The striker netted the opening goal with a fine solo effort against Burnley last week, and the forward retains his place.

Meanwhile, the Royals have made three changes to the side that lost 1-0 to Queens Park Rangers last time out, and Ali Al-Habsi's late error against the R's has cost him his place in goal.

Jonathan Bond starts in goal for Reading, with Hal Robson-Kanu and Paul McShane also given the nod.

Preston North End: Pickford; Vermijl, Huntington, Clarke, Cunningham; Gallagher, Johnson, Browne, Reach; Keane, Garner Subs: Kirkland, Wright, Woods, Kilkenny, Welsh, Doyle and Hugill.

Reading: Bond; Gunter, Taylor, McShane, Ferdinand; Norwood, Williams, McCleary, Blackman; Robson-Kanu, Vydra Subs: Al-Habsi, Hector, Hurtado, Fernandez, John, Cooper, Barrett.
