they have been in form in the Premier League, where they have lost just one of their last seven games They host Manchester United next month but if they maintain their current league form, there isn't a game they should be afraid of among their remaining fixtures.

Reading have lost five in a row and conceded more goals than any other top-flight team - they have let in 12 goals against Arsenal already this season. Theo Walcott, who scored four of those, will not be in action on Saturday, but the Gunners can call upon Santi Cazorla, who scored a hat-trick in the 5-2 win at the Madejski in December. The absence of Jack Wilshere and Abou Diaby will leave Arsenal a bit light in midfield - but what could really give the Royals a glimmer of hope is the immediate reaction that often happens when a new manager comes in.
