Sam Hutchinson outlines Reading weakness Sunderland can take advantage of

Reading defender Sam Hutchinson claims the Royals need to improve defending set pieces following their 2-1 win over Stoke City. Sunderland are pencilled in to face Paul Ince's side this Wednesday, but are still awaiting official confirmation from the EFL.

Last weekend's game against Millwall was postponed as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The clash with Reading and Watford may also be impacted by the passing of her majesty, but as of yet, Wednesday's clash is still set to go ahead.

Speaking after the 2-1 win over Stoke City, Hutchinson said: "It’s a great result, especially after Tuesday it is good to get a win. We made it hard for ourselves at the time, I think we had a few chances and we’ve got to do better defending set pieces because we know what they’re like and the threat they pose.
