Watch Newcastle V Reading Line-Ups, Preview, Picks 19th January 2013 Newcastle host Reading at St James' Park on
Saturday in a clash of sides battling for points at the wrong end of the
Premier League.
The Magpies go into the game sitting just two points - and two
places - above the drop zone after a run of just two wins and two draws
in the last 13 league games.Opponents Reading sit second-to-bottom of the table, with just 16 points from their opening 22 league games.
However Brian McDermott's side will be full of confidence having taken seven points from their last four league outings, including last weekend's 3-2 comeback win against West Brom.
But Newcastle boss Alan Pardew will take heart from the fact Reading are yet to win on their travels in the top-flight this term, while all five of the Magpies' wins in the league have come at St James' Park.
