Reading will be without captain Graeme Murty and midfielders Brynjar Gunnarsson and Emerse Fae for Saturday's Premier League trip to Liverpool.Defender Murty has a knee injury, Gunnarsson is carrying a groin strain and Fae is suffering from malaria.

Winger Glen Little remains on the sidelines but has been pencilled in for a reserve game next week.

Little has not played for a year because of an Achilles problem. He has recovered from that but has since damaged a hamstring during his recovery programme.

Reading (from): Hahnemann, Federici, Rosenior, Ingimarsson, Bikey, Sonko, Cisse, Shorey, Oster, Matejovsky, Harper, Hunt, Convey, Doyle, Long, Kitson, Kebe, de la Cruz.
