Liam Moore has been speaking to the club's official website about the upcoming clash with Queens Park Rangers.

The defender is expecting a tough game on Thursday night, despite the two clubs fighting at different ends of the table.

Reading are currently third in the Sky Bet Championship, trailing second place Newcastle by six points, while their upcoming opponents sit 17th.

Thursday’s match kicks off an exciting weekend in the Championship and Moore has called for his side to get the win to put pressure on their promotion rivals.

The Royal’s have been in impressive form at the Madejski stadium this season and are looking for their sixth consecutive home victory.

Moore said: “It’s a really important game, we need to kick on, we’ve been doing really well in the league and it’s a great opportunity for us to put three points on the board.

“We’ve done well this season especially at Madejski Stadium so we’ll be looking to do the same on Thursday.”

The 23-year old has been impressive this season for Jaap Stam’s side, making 23 appearances for the Royals.
