Two of the Premier League's out-of-form sides clash on Saturday as Reading host West Ham United.
Reading still have just one league win and stopped a run of defeats on Boxing Day with a 0-0 draw at home to Swansea.
West Ham have just one win in six, at home to Chelsea at the start of the month, and were beaten 2-1 at Upton Park by Everton just before Christmas.
Jason Roberts could be fit enough to play, but is a doubt, but otherwise there are no new concerns for Brian McDermott.
Sam Allardyce will be without the suspended Carlton Cole and several injured first-team players but Guy Demel could be fit to return.
