Team News
Manchester City assistant manager Brian Kidd will take charge of team selection for tonight's trip to the Madejski Stadium to face Reading in the Premier League following the dismissal of Roberto Mancini yesterday. Defender Pablo Zabaleta misses out through suspension having been sent off in Saturday's FA Cup Final defeat to Wigan while Scott Sinclair is sidelined. Reading could welcome back midfielder Hope Akpan after a four-match layoff with an ankle injury but winger Jimmy Kebe and Adam Federici are still injured.
Key Stats
Reading are unbeaten against Man City at home in the league since March 1999 when the Sky Blues were last successful in the third tier of the Football League. City have failed to win away at promoted teams this season, drawing 0-0 at West Ham and losing 3-1 at Southampton. The Royals are vying to win back-to-back Premier League matches for only the second time this season. Joe Hart has kept 17 clean sheets this season, the most in the Premier League. (
