Reading host West Ham United in the Premier League with both sides out of form.

Two of the Premier League's out-of-form sides clash on Saturday as Reading host West Ham United.

Reading still have just one league win and stopped a run of defeats on Boxing Day with a 0-0 draw at home to Swansea.

West Ham have just one win in six, at home to Chelsea at the start of the month, and were beaten 2-1 at Upton Park by Everton just before Christmas.

Jason Roberts could be fit enough to play, but is a doubt, but otherwise there are no new concerns for Brian McDermott.

Sam Allardyce will be without the suspended Carlton Cole and several injured first-team players but Guy Demel could be fit to return.

Recent form

Reading: LLLLLD

West Ham: LLWLDL

Possible starting lineups:

Reading: Federici; Gunter, Pearce, Mariappa, Harte; Kebe, Leigertwood, Karacan, McAnuff, Guthrie; Roberts

West Ham: Jaaskelainen; Tomkins, Collins, Reid, O'Brien; Noble, O'Neil, Taylor, Nolan, Jarvis; Vaz Te

Sports Mole says: 1-1
