Man City
Reading
- Gareth Barry returns from suspension and could go straight into central midfield alongside Javi Garcia or Yaya Toure, though the latter may be needed in a more advanced position with Samir Nasri all but certain to miss out.
- Vincent Kompany could miss out once again due to a groin injury, so Kolo Toure will continue to deputise in central defence.
- Mario Balotelli has missed a couple of training sessions this week due to illness and may be unavailable as a result.
- Jason Roberts is a doubt after missing the last two matches due to injury, so Pogrebnyak will vie with Adam Le Fondre for a spot up front alongside Noel Hunt.
- Jem Karacan could make his long-awaited return having had the last week to build up his match fitness after injury.
- Sean Morrison remains injured so Gorkss and Mariappa will continue together at the back.
Aguero used as a wing. Why??
Referee help to Man City to win this game, but game Man City was awful. It's time to change manager or will be late
I mean Mike Dean of course, my mistake.
Blatant foul. Mike jones bottled it.
