BIRMINGHAM - READING


I have read in several places that the Blues have 4 players out, including on loan , future star, Nicklas Bendtner, but I think that information is wrong.


On the Birmingham website, boss Steve Bruce himself says that "only Kelly and Forssell are unavailable, I am likely to name an unchanged squad". Bendtner will probably be on the bench, but is there, if needed.


Reading are without Kitson, Doyle, Gunnarsson and Sonko, Steve Coppell has given the cup low priority so far and is likely to field pretty much a "b" team, he did the same in the previous round and also, last season.


Blues have only played twice this year, Reading 5 times, so all the advantages seem to be with the home team, they showed their potential in the 5-1 win at Newcastle and are very motivated today.


3 points Birmingham -1/2 ball 2.18 betfair.


Good Luck.
