At the start, Mane and Salah flew on both wings

In the midfield combination, on the left is Bridcutt, who has a fierce style, solid control of the ball and can play as a defensive midfielder. As a product of Chelsea's youth academy, Bridcutt has very good ball-playing ability and good physical fitness. He does not fall behind in the physical confrontation in the midfield. Bridcutt has also been full-time this season and has two goals and two assists.

Bridcutt's partner is 21-year-old Smallwood, who came out of Middlesbrough's youth training and joined Reading this summer for a transfer fee of about 200,000 euros. The young Smallwood is always the hardest working one on the court. One, although his physical confrontation ability is slightly weaker due to his youth, his foot skills and ability to pass key balls are very good. Similarly, in Reading's formation, he also needs to take into account certain defensive abilities.

In the frontcourt, the left winger is Jamaican international Antonio. This Antonio is also a late bloomer. He came to England from his hometown team in Jamaica. This is his fourth season with Reading, but he did not get a lot of playing time. But in the future, Antonio will land in the Premier League in 2025, win the UEFA Champions League with West Ham United, and be selected into the UEFA Champions League's best team.

Not long ago, in West Ham United's 2:2 draw with Liverpool, it was Antonio's header that helped West Ham United draw with Liverpool and almost cost Liverpool the possibility of competing for the Premier League championship.

On the right, 27-year-old Welsh international Cotterill started. As a winger, Cotterill has extraordinary speed, but compared to his speed, Cotterill seems relatively mediocre in other aspects.

Swedish international Guidetti is Reading's starting striker. Known as"Swedish Rooney", Guidetti is 1.82 meters tall and weighs more than 80 kilograms. He is like a heavyweight boxer. In addition to his body, Guideti also has good speed and can be used as a winger or a forward. If compared with Rooney, Guidetti's organizational ability is average and he cannot retreat to the midfield to play the ball like Rooney. What he is proud of is his impact.

Although Guidetti is still in the English Championship, given his potential, he will soon be discovered by scouts from the five major leagues. In Reading this season, Guidetti actually did not perform very well and only scored two goals. However, this is also related to the team's tactics. After all, Antonio, the top scorer in Reading, only scored 4 goals. ball.

Notts County's starting lineup is goalkeeper Alisson. Alisson has kept 9 clean sheets this season and is tied with Paul Smith, who also has 9 clean sheets, in the goalkeeper clean sheet rankings.

In the defense, Robertson still started the game, Stones and Maguire were golden partners, and right back Niemann started the game.

In the midfield position, Pogba still failed to return from injury. In Pogba's position, Wang Chu started the game. The crown prince's partner was B Fee from Portugal, and Kante was still the single midfielder.

The front trident, Mane, Salah and Vardy started together.

In this game, Zhou Xu's Notts County can be said to be fully mobilized. After all, their opponent is Reading, which is ranked 12th, and they have won all the last three games. Facing the in-form Reading, Zhou Xu did not want to suffer his second defeat in the British Championship this season because he underestimated his opponent.
