Reading vs Exeter City Team News & Lineups
Both managers will be looking to freshen up their squads after weekend fixtures. Richardson has new signings making an impact, while Caldwell’s attack is firing on all cylinders.
Reading Team News
The Royals are still without striker Will Keane, who is sidelined with a calf injury. However, recent signings Haydon Roberts and Ryan Nyambe made immediate impacts on their debuts against Barnsley, with Roberts scoring and Nyambe providing an assist. Both are expected to start again.
Jack Marriott, who scored the late goal on Saturday, is pushing for a start upfront, potentially displacing Jayden Wareham. Fin Burns has been praised for his defensive work and should marshal the backline.
Predicted Reading XI (4-2-3-1):
Pereira; Nyambe, O’Connor, Burns, Roberts; Savage, Wing; Lane, Doyle, Kyerewaa; Marriott.
Exeter City Team News
Gary Caldwell has a fully fit squad to choose from, a luxury at this stage of the season. After a stunning 3-1 away win at Port Vale, he is unlikely to make wholesale changes. The attacking trio of Ilmari Niskanen, Jack Aitchison, and Mendes Gomes have been electric, supported by the finishing of Sonny Cox or Millenic Alli.
Joe Whitworth continues in goal, protected by the experienced Pierce Sweeney in defense.
Predicted Exeter XI (3-4-2-1):
Whitworth; Sweeney, Fitzwater, Woodhouse; Niskanen, Brierley, Doyle-Hayes, Oakes; Aitchison, Mendes Gomes; Alli.
