These clubs have met four times in the league, all of which were Premier League fixtures in the past decade (two United wins, two draws).

Reading's only previous win in all competitions against Manchester United was 2-1 at home in the FA Cup in January 1927.

The two clubs also met in the first round of the short-lived 'Watney Cup' in 1970, United winning 3-2 at Reading.

Reading have now conceded more second-half goals (18) than any other team in the Premier League this season, 16 of which have come in the final 30 minutes.

They are unbeaten in their last four league home games. If they avoid defeat they will equal their Premier League record of five home matches in a row without a loss, set in January-March 2007.

The Royals have failed to score in the opening 15 minutes of any Premier League match this season, and have also lost 14 points from winning positions.

Reading have committed 123 fouls in the Premier League this season, fewer than any other team.

Their victory over West Ham was only the third time they have won and kept a clean sheet in the Premier League this season.

The Red Devils have not drawn any of their Premier League games this season (W11, L3).

The club are unbeaten in their last 18 Premier League matches against promoted clubs (15 wins) since a 1-0 defeat at Burnley in August 2009. In total, they have lost only 11 of 122 Premier League matches against promoted clubs.

Michael Carrick could make his 250th start for the club.

Manchester United are without wing duo Nani and Antonio Valencia. Nani will be missing for another four or five weeks with a hamstring injury while Valencia has been ruled out with a hip problem. Ryan Giggs has shrugged off a minor hamstring complaint and is on the bench.

Sir Alex Ferguson (Manchester United): "I think away games are getting more difficult. Norwich fought like tigers and were really organised and motivated. When [McDermott] became manager it took him a little bit of time to get his ideas across. But he came from nowhere to take the league."

Jimmy Kebe remains on the sidelines for Reading. Midfielder Kebe has faced a tricky recovery from the groin injury that has kept him out for almost three weeks. Danny Guthrie is on the bench following a thigh problem that has laid him low this month but Alex McCarthy and Jem Karacan remain sidelined.

Brian McDermott (Reading) on Sir Alex Ferguson giving him advice: "I spoke to his son and asked him if he wouldn't mind Sir Alex giving me a ring. And, five minutes after that conversation, a private number came up and it was him. So, that just tells you the calibre of the man and what he's about. I don't know him particularly well but I just know him from that instance and I know that he's done that with a lot of young managers in the past. He does a lot for football."
