Swansea City will host Reading at the Swansea.com Stadium on Tuesday (October 18) night in the Championship.
The hosts have bounced back from their sluggish start to the season and are now pushing for European spots. They were, however, beaten 4-0 by league leaders Burnley in their last league outing. Swansea were four goals down before Joel Piroe's second-half dismissal ended their hopes of a comeback.
Swansea are eighth in the standings with 21 points. They are just one point behind their midweek opponents and will look to leapfrog them with maximum points on Tuesday.
Reading, meanwhile, have enjoyed a largely solid campaign but have struggled to pick up points recently. They were beaten 2-0 by struggling West Bromwich Albion in their last game. Reading will be gutted to have come away empty-handed, as they were the more dominant team, particularly after the restart.
The visitors, meanwhile, have picked up 22 points from 14 games and are sixth in the standings. They will now look to shake off their latest result and get their campaign back on track.
