Team News

- James Tomkins could continue at right-back with Guy Demel expected to miss out once again with a thigh injury.
- Modibo Maiga could be given a chance on the right, after Benayoun failed to impress at Wigan before being withdrawn at half-time.
- Matt Taylor is a doubt, but his availability probably won't affect the starting XI either way.
- City have a lengthy injury list to contend with, and it seems the majority of their problems lie at right-back. Micah Richards has undergone surgery on a knee injury and could miss as much as four months as a result. He joins Maicon on the sidelines, while Pablo Zabaleta is a minor doubt with a hamstring problem.
- Roberto Mancini is also expected to still be withou David Silva, so Kolarov could play on the left side of midfield again.
- Garcia and Rodwell remain out.
