Stevenage vs Reading Preview<\/h2>

Stevenage head into this Carabao Cup second round tie at The Lamex Stadium desperate to arrest a poor start to the League One season. Manager Alex Revell was visibly frustrated after a 2-1 defeat to Oxford United, calling the display \"desperate.\" New signing Michael Mellon could make his debut alongside Josh Magennis in attack, while Jordan Houghton is expected to slot into midfield in place of the injured Jasper Pattenden.<\/p>

Reading arrive with their own frustrations. Despite a promising pre-season, Leam Richardson's side have struggled to convert performances into league results, with their only competitive victories this term coming in cup competitions. A postponed league fixture against Oxford United has afforded extra preparation time. George Earthy could earn a first start in the number ten role, with Randell Williams and Paddy Lane pushing for wing berths.<\/p>
