Reading have made three changes from the side which drew to Brighton & Hove Albion last week to face Huddersfield Town.
Jordan Obita, Anton Ferdinand and Chelsea loanee Lucas Piazon all come into the Royals' starting lineup, replacing Michael Hector, Andrew Taylor and Orlando Sa.
Reading earlier this week confirmed that midfielder Aaron Tshibola had joined Hal Robson-Kanu and Stephen Quinn on the long-term injury list.
Meanwhile, Huddersfield have called Philip Billing and Kyle Dempsey into the starting XI, with striker Ishmael Miller out through illness.
Reading: Habsi; Gunter, Obita, Ferdinand, McShane; Norwood, Williams, McCleary, Piazon; Blackman, Vydra
Huddersfield Town: Steer; Cranie, Hudson, Lynch, Davidson; Paterson, Dempsey, Huws, Bunn; Wells, Miller
