READING CONCEDE
Trippier makes amends by setting up Arfield to level for Burnley.
Meanwhile Albion have not really got going at Forest.

12:35pm
READING SCORE
One of the best players in the Championship this season, Burnley right-back Kieron Trippier puts Reading ahead with an own goal on 16 minutes.

12:33pm
15: Slip by Ward and subsequent confusion gets Tudgay in behind the defence but produces neither a shot nor cross as Kuszczak charges out to meet him. It sparks a bright spell by Forest.
17: Blackburn concede an equaliser.

12:29pm
13: Blackburn, chasing a*miracle set of results, start to do their bit by going ahead against Wigan

12:24pm
Forest had plenty of the ball in the very early stages and Andrews headed clear a Harding cross.
But Albion had the early*chance they wanted when Ulloa dragged a shot across goal and wide of the far post after being sent clear down the inside right channel by Calderon.

12:18pm
Forest with Peltier and Collins in central defence and Mackie at right-back

12:16pm
Here comes the City Ground anthem.
No change of ends. Albion defend the away end and attack the Trent End in the first alf.

12:15pm
Albion emerge*in their yellow and navy away kit - as they wore at Leicester.
I*wonder if there is any superstition involved in that. They don't need to change here*and indeed didn't last year, as can be seen from the Leo Ulloa story elsewhere on the website.

12:13pm
It comes down to this then. A sunlit afternoon by the Trent with attention paid to events down near the M4.
I'm sure you know the scenario. Albion will book a play-off semi-final against Derby if they pick up more points than Reading today.
They have not enjoyed much success here at the City Ground in the last ten years, although a 0-0 draw on Easter Monday 2008 nudged them into sixth place in League One for a few days.
Reading are the only relegated Premier League side from last year yet to confirm their play-off place.
A win against promoted Burnley changes that. But Albion need to do their bit here.
The away section, which holds precisely 2,002 fans according to a tweet*I saw from Nottingham Police,*looks packed already and we await the teams.
