Lucas Piazon looking forward to Reading test

Fulham forward Lucas Piazon reveals that he is relishing coming up against old side Reading this afternoon.

Fulham forward Lucas Piazon has admitted that he is looking forward to "a good match" with former side Reading at Craven Cottage this afternoon.

The 22-year-old is currently on a season-long loan with the Cottagers from Chelsea but spent last term with the Royals and believes that will give him an upper hand in countering Jaap Stam's side today.

"I know how they want to play," the Brazilian told reporters ahead of the match. "They want to build up from the back, they want to have the ball, keep possession and make the opposition move.

"And they are doing well. I haven't watched a game of theirs but I can see they are doing well.

"Everyone that I've spoken to have said they are playing good football. But we play good football too so I think it will be a good match. We just have to fight for 90 minutes and get the three points."

Nine points separate the two sides heading into the encounter, with Reading firmly ensconced in the playoff places in third and Fulham back in 10th.
