Relegated Reading travel to Craven Cottage on Saturday to face Fulham, with the Londoners looking for another win to fully erase fears of the drop themselves.

Fulham are on a terrible run of form, having lost four of their last five in the league including a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park last weekend.

Reading have not won since the start of February, a run of form which has seen them drop to the bottom of the Premier League on goal difference.

Martin Jol's hopes of a win could be hit by Dimitar Berbatov's injury; the striker was taken off against Everton and could well miss two weeks with a torn calf muscle.

For Reading, Jimmy Kebe and Jason Roberts are still out with injury, which means Pavel Pogrebnyak should start up front.
