MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• All 36 previous meetings have been league matches, with Reading winning 15 and Blackpool 11.
• The away side in this fixture has not won since Reading's 2-0 triumph in August 2001 in the second division.
• Blackpool achieved their joint club record league victory when they thrashed the Royals 7-0 at Bloomfield Road in 1928.
Blackpool
• Victory would give Blackpool 10 points from their opening four league games for the first time in their history.
• The Seasiders have avoided defeat and have found the net in 10 of their last 11 Championship matches.
• Should they concede three goals, it would take the number conceded at home in second tier league football to 1,000.
Reading
• Reading, like Blackpool, are unbeaten in the Championship this season, and also recently spent one season in the Premier League.
• Victory would give the Royals their best league start in eight years, but they have only returned with three points from one of their previous eight on the road.
• The Berkshire club have not kept a clean sheet in 25 league and cup matches away from the Madejski - that came in a 1-0 league win at Brighton in April 2012.
