Reading team news: Noel Hunt makes two changes for Leyton Orient trip
Reading boss Noel Hunt has made only two changes for this afternoon's trip to in-form Leyton Orient.
The Royals lost 3-1 at home to play-off chasing Stockport County last weekend, unusually under-performing for a side normally so good at home.
Now in Leyton, backed by 1,200 travelling supporters, the O's can leapfrog the Royals with a win.
In imperious form themselves, the East London club have not conceded or lost at home since November.
This afternoon, Michael Craig and Jeriel Dorsett have returned from the start at full-back, the only changes from the home defeat as Abraham Kanu and Tivonge Rushesha drop out.
Both played over 45 minutes for the Under-21s on Tuesday in a draw with Valencia.
Joel Pereira stays between the sticks and Dorsett and Craig flank either side of central defenders Tyler Bindon and Harlee Dean.
Lewis Wing remains at the heart of a midfield trio alongside Charlie Savage and Harvey Knibbs.
Sam Smith, who netted his 10th goal of the season against the Hatters, has Andre Garcia and Chem Campbell either side.
17-year-old Garcia reportedly has interest from Premier League bottom club Southampton, with an offer of up to £2m rumoured to be on the table.
Forward Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan continues his work back to full fitness with an appearance on the bench.
