Peterborough United host Reading in League One action on Boxing Day (December 26, 3pm).

Posh still sit second and have now won five of their last six league matches, drawing the other away at Stevenage.

Reading meanwhile sit 21st but have shown signs of life in recent weeks, beating Wigan on Saturday and winning three of their last six league matches and drawing two others.

Will Posh be tempted to make changes with Barnsley and Derby coming up?

LIVE: Posh vs Reading

Reading have started quite well, lots of energy in midfield and winning the ball back well. Posh not being allowed a lot of time in there.

Good ball into the box from Azeez, Kioso does well to prevent Ehibhatiomhan getting a header at goal from the edge of the six-yard box.

Good early intent from Posh, Button has to claim and EMC cross.

Looked like Kioso had been fouled on the edge of the box just before but ref waved away the protests.

Reading in a 4-1-4-1, looks like they got Michael Craig man-marking Randall.
