Reading v Chelsea

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/3246978.stm

Reading have problems in attack, with Nicky Forster their only fit
striker.

Shaun Goater had knee surgery on Monday and is out for a month, while
Darius Henderson is nursing a groin injury.

With Steve Brown and Adie Williams both recovering from knee
operations, Reading will field an unchanged back five.

But Coppell may decide to alter his midfield with Scott Murray
fighting to return to the starting XI.

Chelsea could rest key players in the wake of Sunday's win against
Manchester United and ahead of Saturday's trip to Leeds.

Juan Sebastian Veron is battling the back injury which forced him to
miss the game against United.
