Team News: Three changes for Watford, nine for Reading

By Giuseppe Labellarte, Reporter | 14 March 2015

Watford make three changes ahead of their Championship clash against Reading at Vicarage Road, while the Royals overhaul nearly their whole starting XI.

Watford have made three changes ahead of their Championship clash against Reading at Vicarage Road this afternoon.

Daniel Pudil comes into the Hornets starting XI in place of Tommie Hoban, who is suspended.

The other swaps see Marco Motta come in for Juan Paredes and Joel Ekstrand replacing Gabriele Angella.

Reading have made nine changes to their side, with only Jake Cooper and Hope Akpan remaining from their 2-1 win against Brighton & Hove Albion in midweek.

The Royals have also managed to secure international clearance for new signing Zat Knight to line up in his new side's starting XI today.

The former Fulham, Aston Villa and Bolton Wanderers defender joined the Madejski outfit as a free agent on Thursday on a deal until the end of the season following a stint in the MLS.
