Reading boss Ruben Selles has made just one change for the Boxing Day trip to in-form Peterborough United, with Sam Smith rested.

The popular forward scored in Saturday's 2-0 win over Wigan Athletic but has been rested for the trip to second-place Posh.

Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan comes in his place, while the remainder of team remain unchanged.

David Button remains between the sticks, with Amadou Mbengue; Nelson Abbey; Tom Holmes and Jeriel Dorsett looking for successive clean sheets.

Michael Craig; Lewis Wing and Harvey Knibbs remain in midfield, with Paul Mukairu and Femi Azeez remaining out wide.

Smith is an option off the bench, along with Ben Elliott and Charlie Savage.

Peterborough remain unchanged for a seventh match, with the likes of Kwame Poku and Jonson Clarke-Harris playing starring roles.
