Nicky Carle and Crystal Palace host Reading in the Championship this weekend but there will be no Adam Federici in goals for the Royals.

Reading, who sit 3rd on the Coca-Cola Championship table, have recalled Marcus Hahnemann to the number one spot despite Federici showing brilliant form during his stint with the gloves whilst Crystal Palace will be eager to improve their mid-table position at Selhurst Park.

Derby County host Barnsley with both sides keen to put a three point buffer on the drop zone.

Striker Mile Sterjovksi hopes to celebrate another Socceroos selection and Ruben Zadkovich will be doing his utmost to get some first team game time with the Rams at Pride Park.

Norwich City have a huge task when they travel to St Andrews to meet 2nd-placed Birmingham but the Canaries have the in-form Adrian Leijer and the elusive David Carney on show as they strive to steer clear of the bottom three.
