The only teams yet to win in the Premier League this season meet when Queens Park Rangers take on Reading on Sunday.

QPR are rooted to the bottom of the table with just three points from nine matches, while Reading occupy 18th on four points with a game in hand. Manager Mark Hughes has come under fire for Rangers' wretched start, which followed a lively spending spree in the transfer market.

Reading, who beat QPR in a Capital One Cup clash back in September, head to Loftus Road on the back of a remarkable 7-5 cup loss to Arsenal on Tuesday.

KICK-OFF: Sunday, 1.30pm
