Leeds travel to Reading on Saturday with 14 points between the sides, but neither team have had much to brag about recently. Both sides have just one league win in 2018, and a win for either would be a huge boost.
Manager Paul Heckingbottom spoke to the press on Thursday about his team’s visit to the Madjeski, admitting that the recent performances simply haven’t been good enough.
