Manchester City fans at the Etihad on Saturday will be in for a rare treat when Richard Wright takes to the bench.

Of the 125 Premier League games that the Blues have played since the former England international joined the club, he is yet to feature but has been on the bench twice.

The last time this occurred was for a home match with Reading on December 22, 2012.

If Willy Caballero is forced off the field with injury, Wright could get his first game time in the top flight almost nine years ago to the day since his last one.

He started for an Everton team that went down 3-0 to United at Old Trafford in November 2006.

Wright left the Toffees at the end of that season and went on to play for West Ham, Southampton, Ipswich, and Sheffield United before making the switch to the Etihad.

In summer he signed a one-year contract extension to take him through to 2016.
