TEAM NEWS

Les Ferdinand is still injured and is unlikely to feature for the Royals in this cup replay. Dean Morgan, however, should be available.

With no other worries at present Coppell may continue with the side that played against Burnley and hope that a five man midfield from the Championship will be too much for the Swans in the middle of the park.

Roberto Martinez and Kristian O'Leary are both injured but Adrian Forbes returns from his brief suspension. Willy Gueret will continue between the sticks and misses the Swans' next League encounter for the five yellow cards he has notched.

Swansea City Key Player - Lee Trundle

FORM GUIDE

Just as it was when the Swans visited Reading over a week ago the Royals are still looking for a win. Ivar Ingimarsson's goal in that game is the only time the Royals have scored in five games. Once again Steve Coppell will be looking for a victory in this cup competition to boost the confidence of his players for the visit of high-flying Ipswich Town (tickets for this game are apparently selling very well).

Swansea did well last season reaching the fifth round of the competition and they came close to putting us out when they made the trip up the M4; they are currently sitting in the promotion places in League Two.
