The swans take on the royals at the Swansea.com stadium this afternoon. Team news is below, the swans may well be favourites but this isn’t a Reading side ready to give up easily. Swansea should be well on guard today. This is the championship.

As predicted Williams makes a return and Obafemi and Whittaker again don’t start.
