The read

The desk

Oxford are unbeaten in five and sit third, Reading have won three of their last five and sit sixth, so this looks like a game with goals rather than a stalemate. The last two meetings both finished level, but that is a thin sample next to how both sides have been winning, not drawing, recently.
