READING FC are back on the road this weekend when they face a tough away test at Burnley.

The Royals stopped a run of five Championship games without a win when they got the better of Bristol City with goals from Mamadou Loum and Andy Carroll.

The win put Reading into eighth place, while they face Burnley who are currently third in the table.

The Clarets have enjoyed a strong start to the season and are in the hunt to win promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking after being relegated last season.

Under new manager Vincent Kompany who was appointed in the summer, Burnley have lost just one league game all season.

That defeat came in the third league game of the season when they lost out 1-0 away at Watford.

Burnley have proved a tough side to break down and currently boast the second best defensive record in the league having only conceded 15 times in 16 games.

They have also been clinical at the other end of the pitch and are now the division’s highest scorers with 29 goals.

With seven wins and eight draws to their name, their unbeaten run now stretches to 13 games.

Burnley ensured they maintained their unbeaten run on Saturday with a successful away trip at Sunderland.

Despite finding themselves two goals down in the first-half after strikes from Amad Diallo and Dan Neil, the Clarets turned their fortunes around in the second-half.

They hit back with an excellent second-half display to take all three points with goals from Nathan Tella, Manuel Benson, Anass Zaroury and Josh Brownhill to take a 4-2 win.

Jay Rodriguez currently leads the way in the Burnley team and is sixth top scorer in the league with seven goals from 14 games.

Nathan Tella, who is on loan from Southampton, is just behind with six goals and Josh Brownhill has nine goal contributions this season (five goals, four assists).

Reading’s last meeting with Burnley came in February 2016 where the teams played out a goalless draw in Berkshire.

The Royals were triumphant on their last trip to Turf Moor in September 2015 when goals from Nick Blackman and Lucas Piazon guided Steve Clarke’s team to three points against Sean Dyche’s side.
