Form Guide
The Royals enter the match having won their last 2 matches. Last Saturday, they beat promoted West Bromwich Albion 1-0 thanks to an 89th minute winner from ex Arsenal midfield Steve Sidwell.

The Hornets go into the match on the back of a very disappointing 4-0 defeat to West Ham United. Don Hutchinson, Christian Dailly and a double from Marlon Harewood put the Hammers firmly in the driving seat for the Playoffs.
