Sunderland travel to the Madejski Stadium for their Premiership encounter with Reading.
Roy Keane`s men will be hoping to inflict there first double of the season after beating Reading early in the season at the Stadium Of Light.
Reading are strong side and it will be tough for Sunderland to repeat the feat achieved on Wearside.
Reading are without John Oster and Glen Little.
Brynjar Gunnarsson will face a fitness test before the game.
The young forward is a proven threat so Higgy and McShane will have to be on their toes.
Nyron Nosworthy and Carlos Edwards are out injured.
Liam Miller is suspended
The veteran midfielder was a different class on Saturday against Villa hopefully he can maintain his form.
In our last six league games away to Reading we have Won 2, Draw 1 and Lost 3
Steve Tanner
It will be a tough game but I think it`s winnable so I`ll go for a 0-2 win to Sunderland
