Andre Villas-Boas will go in search for his first league victory as Tottenham manager when his side travel to the Madjeski to take on Reading this Sunday.
The Spurs boss has endured a frustrating start to the season, losing 2-1 to Newcastle on the opening day before consecutive 1-1 home draws against West Brom and Norwich respectivley.
Despite the £12million signing of Hugo Lloris, Brad Friedel is expected to keep his place between the sticks, whilst other new signings Clint Dempsey and Moussa Dembele could make their first starts.
Dembele particularly impressed on his debut, coming off the bench to score a cracker against Norwich.
Reading have had to wait longer than most to make a return to Premier League action, after their last scheduled match at Sunderland was postponed due to wet conditions.
Their last Premier League outing was in fact the 4-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge, in which Brian McDermott’s side felt unfortunate to come away with nothing.
Adam Federicci, who made a mistake in that match as well as during the opening day fixture against Stoke City, is likely to continue in goal.
Brian Mcdermott must decide whether to name the same side that pushed Chelsea so close, or revert back to 4-4-2, with Pavel Pogrebnyak likely to be partnered by Adam Le Fondre up front.
Jimmy Kebe is out with injury, whilst Chris Gunter is likely to feature against his former club.
Prediction: Reading 1-1 Tottenham
