Preview: Reading vs. Bournemouth

Sports Mole previews Bournemouth's trip to Reading in the Championship.

Reading play host to Bournemouth in the Championship this weekend looking to consolidate their position inside the playoff places.

Nigel Adkins's side have lost just once in six games, helping them climb to fifth in the table, but defeat could see them slip out of the top six.

Bournemouth have failed to win in their last seven attempts, with defeat in their last outing against Queens Park Rangers sending them down to 19th, four points above the drop zone.

Reading have been boosted by the news that midfielder Danny Williams will be available to face the Cherries, despite taking a knock last weekend.

Chris Gunter is also available for selection again after seeing out a suspension.

Lewis Grabban could return to the Bournemouth lineup following a bout of illness, while on-loan Arsenal defender Nico Yennaris is pushing for a start.
