Reading v Sheffield Wednesday (Saturday, 15:00 GMT)
Despite being third in the table, there is one Reading statistic that is less attractive.
In 23 matches this season in league and cup, The Royals have managed 52 yellow cards, and four yellows, including Danny Williams' in the 5-0 defeat to Fulham on Saturday.
In comparison, in the whole of last season they managed 81 yellows and three reds.
For Reading's boss, Jaap Stam that it's all a sign of competitiveness and aggression.
"Sometimes players have a fighting spirit," Stam told BBC Radio Berkshire, you don't want to drag that out of the players."
