FULL TIME. Barry's header in injury time gives the champions a 1-0 win. They move to within three points of United.
90+4'
Pearce leaps for the ball but he can't connect. City clear.
90+4'
Corner to Reading...
90+4'
Silva, predictably, produced a fine cross and Barry clambered over the back of Shorey to nod it in. What drama.
90+3'
GOAL! Manchester City 1-0 Reading! Barry produces a diving header from a cross from the left and deep into injury time City do it again!
90+1'
Aguero bursts into space on the right and rifles a shot into the side netting. Getting towards the last-chance saloon here for City.
90'
We will have four added minutes.
89'
Silva gets his head to a cross at the back post but steers the ball wide of the upright. Kebe did just enough to put him off.
88'
Zabaleta wants a penalty following a challenge from Kebe but there's nothing doing.
87'
Harte has suffered an injury and is down requiring treatment. Nicky Shorey comes on in his place.
86'
Sinclair with a shot from 25 yards that curls the wrong way and soars wide.
85'
City will move to within five points of Manchester United with a draw, though they will have played a game more of course.
84'
Rekik is replaced by James Milner as City go for the win.
83'
Pearce leaps to meet the corner with a header but it flies wide of the far post. City in danger of going a goal down there.
82'
Kebe swings in a cross from the right and it takes a touch off a City shirt as Pogrebnyak tries to slide in and convert on the edge of the six-yard box. Corner to Reading...
81'
Aguero drills in a firm shot from 25 yards but it takes a deflection and goes behind for a corner. Kolo Toure can't get a proper head to the ball as the set-piece is delivered.
80'
Toure plays a pass through midfield for Silva and he tries to spin and flick the ball into Aguero's pass. It doesn't come off though.
78'
The ball comes in for Dzeko in the box but he has to arch his head back to direct his effort on goal and it lacks pace as a result. No problem for Federici.
77'
Rekik used his shoulder to knock Tabb over, and he has just gone off for more treatment on his ribs. It was messy at best.
