Match Preview: Saturday,2nd March 2013, One of the important match Everton v Reading of Barclays Premier League HD Quality Live Everton v Reading  streaming is available here.Everton v Reading Live Stream online Barclays Premier League Video Free The match will take plcae at Goodison Park on 3/2/13 Preview Pictures and Wallpapers its mean all things are available in my blog please see and check here for latest things.This fixture is one Everton will think they have to win to maintain any hopes of a top-four finish, while it's one Reading would be delighted to take anything from in their fight to stay in the Premier League.Everton have been so organised and hard to beat all season that their recent back-to-back defeats have raised a few eyebrows. A return of just one point from nine couldn't have been more untimely.This is the first of five home games in the next six matches in all competitions that will define their season, after which they could be in an FA Cup semi-final and still close to the Champions League challengers. Goodison Park has been their foundation; only Chelsea have taken all three points away with them in the last 17 matches. Yet the Toffees have too often been the draw specialists and are at the stage of the season where they need wins, particularly in fixtures such as this.
If they can stay in the mix, you sense there could be a twist to the tale. They still have to go to Spurs and Arsenal, rivals for fourth spot, there is still a Merseyside derby at Anfield to be played, and their last fixture is at Stamford Bridge, which is why any further slips ups at home cannot be in the script.
The reverse fixture saw Reading win for the first time in the season, at the 11th attempt, but they have only managed four victories since and will be desperate for a reaction after the hugely disappointing performance in the home defeat by Wigan.
They've lost seven of their last eight away matches and have to find some way of picking up some points. It's the beginning of a run of pivotal fixtures for Brian McDermott's men that also sees them travel to Manchester United and Arsenal and face huge home games against relegation rivals Aston Villa and Southampton. 

Team News:
Everton hope to welcome back top scorer Marouane Fellaini, who missed the FA Cup win over Oldham with a knee injury.
Goalkeeper Tim Howard is a doubt after picking up a knock in that match against the Latics.
Reading striker Pavel Pogrebnyak begins a three-match suspension after being sent off last week, so Nick Blackman or Adam Le Fondre will start.
Goalkeeper Alex McCarthy and forward Jason Roberts remain sidelined with respective shoulder and hip injuries.
