The exact date of the tie is still to be determined but it will definitely be played on 4, 5, 6 or 7 January, a few days after our Premier League match at Newcastle United on Wednesday 2 January.
The Royals are currently 21st in the Championship and we last faced them in January 2016 - in the FA Cup third round - when a 4-0 win was secured thanks to goals from Marcus Rashford (2), Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney.
Jose Mourinho and the players are all determined to win the FA Cup this season, particularly after going so close in the historic competition in 2017/18 by reaching the final and finishing as runners-up.
