Reading v Mancester United - Madejski Stadium - Sat Dec 1st

Will I Amnt

Team News
Jimmy Kébé remains a major doubt for Reading's Premier League game against Manchester United.

Midfielder Kébé has faced a tricky recovery from the groin injury that has kept him out for almost three weeks and could miss Saturday's match.

Danny Guthrie should be available following a thigh problem that has laid him low this month but Alex McCarthy and Jem Karacan remain sidelined.

Manchester United, meanwhile, will be without wing duo Nani and Antonio Valencia.

Nani will be missing for another four or five weeks with a hamstring injury, whilst Valencia has been ruled out with a hip problem.

Paul Scholes returns from suspension, whilst Ryan Giggs has shrugged off a minor hamstring complaint.

Match Notes
Manchester United enter December top of the Premier League for the sixth time, having gone on to win the title on four of the previous five occasions.

They have won five away games, but lost on their last trip, at Norwich a fortnight ago. On the same day, Reading won their first league game, beating Everton, but have lost away twice since then.

Referee Mark Halsey

Kick off 17:30 live on ESPN.

Mr.Crinklewood

Had a dream last night that Rooney got a hat-trick.

Hoping to see the same line up as wednesday night.

Should win easy enough with that team, looking forward to the match. Hopefully we can play better than we done mid week.

Never really use Yahoo Sport only for after match reports, would the teams they put up be assumptions on who they think may be playing?

I'd say so. They don't release the team sheets until about 45 minutes before kick off.

Chico to come off for Young and score another hat trick.

Nemanja91

De Gea needs to start.

Will I Amnt

Only complaint with that is no De Gea.
Happy enough with the rest of it. Hope Young can put in a bit of a shift today, he's been very disappointing of late and overall since he came bar a few good performances.

His tooth still can't be at him. What is Fergie playing at?

Nemanja91

Jonny Evans 11/1 anytime goalscorer, free money these days

Pj!

“I’m going along with Anders at the moment because he’s not letting me down,” said Ferguson.

“I could easily have changed it again but Anders has done nothing wrong. I think they’re both good keepers so I’ve no issue with that.

“David is fine. He’s young, he got that tooth infection and had to get dental treatment.

“They had to take two of his teeth out and his jaw was swollen quite a bit, so we gave him that time off.

“Anders has come in and done well. It’s one of those situations where there’s no actual reason to leave Anders out in terms of form.

“Hopefully, David understands that at the moment, but there’s no long-term issue.”

RasTa

Nice one Everton. Hopefully this is easy

Will I Amnt

Don't think we can have any excuses here with that team selection.
Ando, Carrick and Fletcher is a welcome change.

Kylo Ren

I assume Young will be deployed through the middle. He has been awful on the wing so I'm happy if so.

dahat

Ando would seem to be playing pretty high up the filed in this line up.....

Had a bet at 20/1 first goal and 13/2 anytime..........

RasTa

RVP first

Ando&Evans anytime are my bets.

Some dive

Does anyone else think the camera is very far away?

Nemanja91

Can hardly put a decent pass together so far.

Would ya believe I had gone in to edit my post to type "In before Fr. Ted reference" but said I'd leave it!

Feck it. Down again already. :mad:

Some things never change

Nemanja91

Didn't take long, absolute joke.

Well that was not unexpected...

God damn it -_-

LostBoy101

This is just not good for my heart anymore.

J. Marston

It's obvious we're going to drop points today after the earlier results.

Mars Bar

Good stuff Evra

Hope we don't get caught out here.

markc1184

This is gone beyond ridiculously annoying at this stage. Someone needs to step up and start putting their head on balls into the box.

Honest to God, if we drop points when Chelsea and City do, I'll cry...

Maximus Alexander

It'll be grand lads (and lasses).


Goals are on the way.

J. Marston

It's not even surprising though, that's the worrying thing. Going behind to Reading isn't a surprise, sad.

Kerrydude1981

This going behind lark stopped being funny ages ago,its getting fairly sad now

Considering I was ready to ship him out a few months ago, I have serious man love for Anderson right now....
