Match notes:

Compared to the Sheffield United game, Kevin Watson replaced James Harper in the starting line-up.

Ívar Ingimarsson made his home debut.

Nicky Forster has scored in each of the three rounds of the League Cup this season. Also, this is the third consecutive game between the two clubs where Reading have won 1-0 and Forster scored the only goal.

The result means that Reading have reached the last 16 of this competition for only the seventh time. On two of those occasions, we progressed to the last eight.
