Simon Davey will take a squad of 20 to Southampton and will not confirm his starting line-up until after a final training session on Friday. The Reds will use Reading's facilities for the day before Davey finalises his starting 11. Missing from the squad which travelled to Stoke is full-back Rob Kozluk but Andy Johnson, Paul Reid, Rohan Ricketts and Kim Christensen are added to the travelling party.
