| Form Guide |  
       Reading may be the most in-form team in the Division, but Bristol City certainly won't make it easy for the Royals despite a poor overall run of results. Last Friday night City did Reading plenty of favours by beating league leaders Millwall at Ashton Gate. Four players were sent off - two from each side - as Bristol City won with an injury time penalty from substitute Lee Matthews. With Millwall losing and having a couple of players up for suspensions, and Reading winning 2-1 at Wrexham, the Royals now look like they could overtake Millwall as the season draws to a close. Reading will be looking for a twelve game without league defeat - but most importantly a home win which would make it nine wins from twelve league games.
