The Royals welcome the Clarets to the SCL in the third round of the FA Cup.

Reading and Burnley, both unbeaten in 2025. What an achievement, but only one can continue unbeaten as the Royals and the Clarets meet in the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon at the SCL.

Reading go into this match four unbeaten, gaining 10 points from a possible 12. The performance against Charlton Athletic could have been a little bit better, but considering the injuries the Royals have, it was a very good result.
