Manchester City will play West Ham on Monday night in the FA Cup quarter-final so they may rest some players, just as Wigan did when we met in the FA Cup earlier in the season just before the League Cup semi-final game against Arsenal.
Georgios Samaras (knee), Sylvain Distin (virus) and Joey Barton (ankle) are are doubts.
City’s most dangerous player
Should be unchanged from the Sunderland game. David David Connolly (hamstring), David Thompson (knee) and Damien Francis (foot) are all returning from injury and will be pushing for a place on the bench.
Ryan Taylor has resumed training following his broken foot and may play again before the end of the season.
Getting back to his best following his return from the African NAtion Cup.
Martin Atkinson 1 red and 40 yellows from 12 matches
3-1 to The Latics
West Ham at home on the 25th
