Norwich City face a trip to Reading at Madjeski Stadium on Monday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Canaries will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in September 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a League Division One match.
