Manchester City are on the back of 2 straight defeats and despite having poor run of form on their travels, I truly feel that this could be their week to turn that form around.

City are taking on Reading who in Steve Coppell's own opinion, are struggling at the bottom of the barrell, unable to think of anything else to do.

Manchester City will take heart in the position that they are playing before Aston Villa and Everton to try take this victory and knock on their door saying that they are coming to Europe as well.

Manchester City have a new secret weapon for their travels, someone who has scored a lot of away goals this season, Benjani. He has been loving his travels this season, and been constantly netting goals and with his new team, he created an impact on their last away trip to Manchester United.

The number of absences for Reading are not funny at all, skipper Graeme Murty, Emerse Fae, Glen Little and Gunnarsson. In addition Duberry is major doubt and Leroy Lita has gone on loan, which leaves this squad severly depleted of some of their good players who could create an impact when required. Mancheter City also have a few absences in Petrov, Bojinov, Onuha and Richards.

Reading has now lost 4 straight at home, and all we need is a draw to secure our result.
