Reading have named an unchanged starting XI for this afternoon's Championship clash with Derby County.

Garath McCleary has been passed fit for the game despite taking a knock during the Royals' 4-2 win at Leeds United in midweek.

Pavel Pogrebnyak and Stephen Kelly have recovered from injuries to take up places on the substitutes' bench.

Will Hughes starts in the Derby midfield after overcoming an ankle injury, while on-loan West Bromwich Albion man George Thorne takes up a place on the bench.

Reading: McCarthy; Gunter, Obita, Gorkss, Pearce; Akpan, Guthrie, McCleary, McAnuff, Drenthe, Robson-Kanu

Derby: Grant, Wisdom, Keogh, Buxton, Forsyth, Eustace, Hughes, Bryson, Dawkins, Ward, Martin
