Royals boss Paul Clement simply wants to focus on Reading during the last six games.

Clement thinks by focusing on the things the Royals can influence on the training ground, rather than thinking too much about the opposition, they can pull themselves clear of the relegation zone.

"We can't necessarily control what the opposition do," Clement told 大象传媒 Radio Berkshire's Jack Winstanley. "I'm more concentrating on what we're in control of.

"All games in the Championship are big tests, both home and away, so we'll pay [Preston] the right amount of respect."

And Clement was keen to stress the two red cards his side have conceded in his two games in charge are purely coincidental.

"When I look at the four yellow cards... they weren't malicious, bad tackles.

"In all my previous games at Derby and Swansea I'd never had one red card situation."
