Last updated : 06 October 2004 By Covsupport
Coventry City Reserves Manager Steve Ogrizovic faces a selection headache ahead of the visit of Crystal Palace to Nuneaton Borough in a FA Premier Reserve League South fixture.

International call-ups mean that City will be without Stuart Giddings who is in the England U19's squad to face the Czech Republic at Norwich City tonight (game live on Sky), Matthew Mills is also expected to play in the same game.
Also missing will beClaus Jorgensen who is with the Faroe Islands in Cyprus.

The City boss is likely to make more changes from the team which lost 4-0 at Arsenal as Andy Whing,Neil Wood,Bjarni Gudjonsson and Patrick Suffo are all included in the squad named a short time ago.

The South East Londoners, who are unbeaten in their last four matches, have announced a mixed squad with stars being Neil Shipperley, Danny Butterfield and Dougie Freedman who has been a target of Peter Reid's this season.

Kick-off is at 7pm with season ticket holders getting in free. Manor Park can be found by Exiting M6 at Junction 3 (or taking the A444 if from Coventry) and follow the A444 towards Nuneaton. At the first roundabout with go straight over (you will see the cinema on the left), at the next roundabout take the second exit, towards Nuneaton.
