Chelsea vs Reading score prediction

Emma Hayes was critical of Chelsea's first half performance on Thursday evening, as the Blues came from a goal down to draw 1-1 with Real Madrid in the Champions League.

It's a quick turnaround for Hayes's side, travelling home from Madrid and returning to action less than 72 hours after playing in Europe.

Reading began the season with four straight defeats, but they have since picked up seven points from their last five to pull clear of the drop zone. They only lost narrowly to Arsenal and have made a habit of scoring dramatic late goals this term. Chelsea should emerge victorious, but Reading have the ability to ensure they don't have it all their own way.

Prediction: Chelsea 3-1 Reading
