Preview: Manchester United vs. Reading

Manchester United welcome Reading to Old Trafford in Monday night's FA Cup fifth-round tie.

The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last 15 matches, although they did need a replay to see off West Ham United in round three.

After securing a 1-1 draw in their Champions League away leg with Real Madrid, Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to shuffle his pack somewhat.

Paul Scholes is still out with a knee injury, but the likes of Nani, Tom Cleverley and Javier Hernandez could return.

Reading, meanwhile, will be without Jason Roberts and Alex McCarthy, but have had an extended break of nine days since their last game.

The Royals are in good form too, losing just one of their last seven games.
