AS far as disappointment dead rubbers go this one is right up there.

Reading, relegated two weeks ago, face defeated FA Cup finalists Manchester City at the Madejski Stadium.

The Royals are still aiming to not finish bottom of the table and can achieve that with a point after QPR lost to Newcastle on Sunday.

Nigel Adkins achieved his first victory as manager last weekend with an entertaining 4-2 win at Fulham.

But that was only the Berkshire outfit's first win in 11 games as they prepare for life back in the Championship.

Jimmy Kebe (groin) could return but Jason Roberts (hip) remains sidelined.

Manchester City, meanwhile, could have hardly had their egos bruised more badly this season.

After crashing out of the Champions League group stages and surrendering their Premier League crown without a fight, Roberto Mancini's men were embarrassed by Wigan at Wembley on Saturday.

According to reports Mancini is a dead man walking, with Malaga's Manuel Pellegrini poised to replace him.

City need four points to guarantee second place ahead of Chelsea this season, however, and will be keen for an immediate return to winning ways.

The former champions have kept a clean sheet in 15 of their last 27 league games.

Worryingly Scott Sinclair (shoulder) is out. Who on earth has the shoes to fill that place on the bench? These are troubled times at Eastlands.

Despite Saturday's incredible disappointment, Mancini's men should be coming away with all the points here. In truth City have struggled away at the so-called lesser sides this season but bank on them for a comfortable three points.
