Following Manchester United's battling 1-1 draw against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night, Sir Alex Ferguson will most likely introduce some fresh faces when Reading visit on Monday.
Darren Fletcher is the only player definitely ruled out due to his bowel illness, while Paul Scholes is still a few weeks away from a return after suffering a knee problem.
Should Sir Alex decide to rest players, the likes of Alexander Buttner, Nani, Anderson and Ashley Young could all start, and Nemanja Vidic should return following his rest on Wednesday night.
While United were giving their all in Madrid, Brian McDermott took his side to Dubai for a warm-weather training camp and he will have the majority of his squad available at Old Trafford.
Striker Jason Roberts (knee) remains a few weeks from a return to the Reading line-up meaning Pavel Pogrebnyak may retain his place in attack with Adam Le Fondre available from the bench.
Reading's only other definite absentee is goalkeeper Alex McCarthy (shoulder) and he looks set to miss another couple of months' worth of action.
DID YOU KNOW?
Manchester United have emerged victorious in 15 of their last 19 FA Cup matches at Old Trafford, losing just two.
Seven goals were scored in the first 35 minutes when the two sides met at the Madejski Stadium earlier this season.
United have won the FA Cup on each previous occasion that they have defeated Fulham in the fourth round (1999 and 2004).
The Red Devils' last loss to Reading came in this competition back in 1927.
In his last seven Reading appearances, Le Fondre has seven goals.
The Royals have only ever been past the fifth round twice.
Their record against sides from the same division in the FA Cup is very poor having won one of 12 matches.
Reading are 11/2 to knock Manchester United out of the FA Cup and qualify for the next round with bet365.
Even if United name a significantly weakened side on Monday, they should still have way too much for the visitors. Everything points to a home win, and any other result would be a huge shock given the firepower available to the Red Devils.
Editor's Prediction
Man Utd. 3-0 Reading
