How Reading go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reading were beaten 2-1 at Cambridge last time out, ending a run of three straight defeats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Madejski will hope for a cup shock, though the Royals face a major step up in class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Brentford go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brentford drew 2-2 at Bournemouth in the Premier League at the weekend, maintaining their unbeaten start to the season in all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dangerous and clinical, the Bees should have too much quality for their opponents, even with rotation.<\/p>\n\n\n
