There’s nothing riding on the contest, with the Seasiders’ League One survival being secured last Saturday and the play-offs being out of the Royals’ reach.
After an impressive end to the season, Ian Evatt’s side will be looking for a strong finish to take extra momentum into next term.
Hayden Coulson is available again for the trip to Berkshire after serving his suspension, but Fraser Horsfall won’t be involved after undergoing surgery on an ankle issue.
Meanwhile, several other players also remain absent, and won’t be back in competitive action until August.
Here’s our predicted XI and bench to take on Reading:
