By necessity rather than choice we drop down to the Champo tonight.
The two clubs sits 5th & 6th in the League, separated by just 2 points though on current form Reading are much the better.
Reading v Bournemouth @ 8pm
The game is at the Madejski Stadium, named after Reading's humble chairman, who made his money when selling Auto Trader for £174 million.

Stats;
Reading have lost their last five league matches against Bournemouth, losing 4-2 earlier this campaign at the Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth have won their last two league matches against Reading at the Madejski Stadium, though this is their first game there since 2014/15, a 1-0 win.
Bournemouth manager Jason Tindall played for the Cherries the last time they lost to Reading in a league match, losing 2-1 in April 2001 despite taking the lead via Jermain Defoe.
Reading are unbeaten in five Championship matches (W3 D2), conceding just twice in this run.
Bournemouth have won eight of their last nine league matches played on Friday, winning both Friday games this season: 3-1 vs Coventry in October and 4-0 vs Barnsley in December.
Jack Wilshere is back at Bournemouth & against Crawley in the FA Cup last week he scored for the first time in 18 months.
What an utter wasted talent Jack has been. Incredibly talented, but got in with the wrong sorts & lost his way completely. Can't think of any player who has performed so far below ability other than - obviously - Andy Carroll. Genuinely hope Jack sorts himself out & gives his best in the autumn of his career.
Draw and 4 goals please
Thanks
