Watford face a trip to Reading at Madejski Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hornets will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 33 and win only 9 of the 53 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2009, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
