Town boss Joe Royle has named his team for Saturday's home game with Reading. It conatins no surprises and continues to use the 4-3-3 formation used so often during pre-season.

The only change from last week's 1-1 friendly draw with Levski Sofia is Chris Makin returning to left-back after a thigh injury. Matt Richards drops to the bench.

All three new signings will make their debuts while Jim Magilton will skipper for the first time.

Town: Davis, Wilnis, Makin, Naylor, Diallo, Miller, Santos, Magilton (C), D Bent, M Bent, Couñago. Subs: Price, Bowditch, Wright, Richards and Reuser.
