Manchester United are in the best run this season and currently in the best run in the Premier League. They are sixth placed team at the table but still with very good chance to reach to the top three any time soon. They had some oscillations with their form and performances, but it seems that it is far away behind them and in this match they enter fully fit, highly motivated and ready for new victories.
On the other side Reading are doing very well in the Championship. They are currently third placed team at the table, however in this match they enter significantly weakened for several key players missing for injuries and it will definitely affect to their performances in this match. Well aware of their position and status against Manchester United, they will be mostly focused on defense, protecting their own goal and patiently waiting for a chance to score after a fast counterattack.
