Cherries to pick same team?

Bournemouth could name the same starting line-up that ended Charlton's unbeaten run when they tackle Reading.

Callum Wilson's eighth goal of the season saw off the Addicks but he started alongside Brett Pitman for the first time after the 26-year-old was handed a rare start by Eddie Howe.

And with Yann Kermorgant serving the second game of his three-match ban Pitman looks set to continue alongside Wilson as look to make it three consecutive wins.

If Howe does decide to freshen up his side then the likes of Ian Harte, Ryan Fraser and Dan Gosling are likely to come into his thinking.

Reading still have a lengthy injury list so manager Nigel Adkins will have to choose from the same squad beaten 3-0 by Derby.

Midfielder Danny Guthrie is closest to returning after a hamstring strain but he will not make the trip south.

Defender Anton Ferdinand, yet to make his Royals debut after joining in the summer, is due to step up his training following a hamstring injury and youngster Aaron Tshibola (knee) is also making progress.

But Shaun Cummings, Jem Karacan, Danny Williams, Craig Tanner (all knee) and Garath McCleary (back) remain long-term absentees.
