Reading v Fulham: Can Martin Jol lord it over the Royals?
Fulham have never been the greatest travellers in the world but they will roll into the Madejski Stadium this weekend confident of leaving with all three points.
Martin Jol's men are currently eighth in the table and could go fourth if they win and other results go their way. And with the attacking talent of Dimitar Berbatov, Damien Duff and Mladen Petric in their ranks, they have every reason to believe they can at least do the first part of that job.
However, Reading are not a team you can take lightly. They may still be searching for their first league win of the season but unlike those around them at the bottom - QPR, Norwich and Southampton - they have yet to be given a proper spanking, although Tottenham did put them though the ringer earlier in the season.
Fulham did the double over Reading the last time these two met in the Premier League. However, the previous two meetings both went in Reading's favour, so who will come out on top this time round?
It's a tough one to call and our pundits are going for a draw.
Reading v Fulham; Kick Off 3pm October 27 2012
