It was a midweek away match at Reading where things turned around for Aston Villa (a bit) last season. Will it be a midweek away match at Reading where things kick off for Villa this season? Who knows.
Reading weren’t predicted to have a great season, but it’s far too early to write them off just yet - and hell, if we are writing the Royals off, we may as well write Villa off.
As it’s not a televised tie - this match will be LIVE STREAMED on AVTV, for an international audience. Here’s all you need to know compiled by Phil Vogel. What’s more, don’t forget to get involved in the comments section below!
