Sheffield looking for revenge against Reading

Reading were looking to complete a double over Sheffield United today, who had come up with them from the Coca-Cola Championship last season, following their 2-1 win at Bramall Lane in September.

Royals skipper Graeme Murty returned from injury although illness ruled out fellow defender Nicky Shorey, with striker Dave Kitson named on the bench in the hope of his first Premiership action since the opening day of the season.
