Reading boss Steve Clarke has changed his entire starting line-up for his side's FA Cup quarter-final replay against Bradford.

Having made nine alterations in Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Watford, the Royals' manager introduced a new-look starting XI for the replay at the Madejski just over 48 hours later.

Pavel Pogrebnyak, who hit a post in the original 0-0 draw, was recalled as well as skipper Alex Pearce and the likes of Nathaniel Chalobah and Jamie Mackie.

Bradford meanwhile made six changes from the 1-1 League One draw at Notts County as Ben Williams, Alan Sheehan, Filipe Morais, Andy Halliday, Billy Knott and James Hanson all returned for Phil Parkinson's side.
