What channel is Reading v Brentford Carabao Cup 3rd round match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
League One Reading will hope to spring a Carabao Cup upset when Brentford visit them in the third round on Tuesday.
The Royals have beaten two other third-tier sides – Bromey and Stevenage – in previous rounds but will need to raise their game if they are to get past Premier League opposition.
Brentford have picked up where they left off at the end of last term under Keith Andrews and gone unbeaten through the initial weeks of the season.
The Bees put six past Birmingham City away at St Andrews in the last round of the Carabao Cup and may shuffle their pack in Berkshire, with Friday's West London derby against Chelsea to come.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Reading v Brentford on TV and online.
