Pearce has usual suspects available

Manchester City boss Stuart Pearce reports no fresh injury concerns ahead of the FA Cup clash with Wigan.

Ben Thatcher (chest infection) is again ruled out, while long-term absentees Danny Mills (broken shin) and Claudio Reyna (broken ankle) are expected back in training within a fortnight.

Richard Dunne will shrug off a gash just above the eye to play, while Robbie Fowler could start up front with Antoine Sibierski as Pearce juggles his attacking options.

Provisional squad: James, De Vlieger, Weaver, Sun, Onuoha, Distin, Dunne, Jordan, Sinclair, Croft, Barton, Ireland, Musampa, Riera, Cole, Vassell, Fowler, Sibierski, Wright-Phillips.
