MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• Reading are seeking a sixth successive victory over Burnley, and an eighth win in nine regular-season league meetings.
• Burnley have won 10 and lost 20 of the 40 competitive matches against the Royals, and need four goals to reach 50 against them.
• The Clarets last beat Reading in both semi-final legs of the 2008-09 Championship play-offs, before going on to defeat Sheffield United to secure promotion to the Premier League.
Burnley
• The Clarets went top of the table on Tuesday night, with their seventh win of the season and fourth in a row.
• They have made their best start to a league season in 52 years, and completing a run of five successive league victories for the first time since December 2001 would maintain their most successful start since 1961, when they won nine and drew one of the first 11 and went on to finish top-flight runners-up to Ipswich.
• Sean Dyche has seen his side open the scoring and avoid defeat in all but one of their 10 league games this term; they have scored more than a single goal in 10 of their 13 league and cup outings.
Reading
• Fifth-placed Reading have secured 14 points from an unbeaten six-game run, in which they have conceded just two goals.
• A sixth victory would equal the total they mustered in the whole of last season's Premier League campaign.
• The Royals have won 25 of their last 36 matches at Championship level.
