It’s been a very disappointing season for Reading in the Championship. They thought they’d be in the general vicinity of the promotion playoff places, but they’re all the way down in 18th. They’re far enough from the drop zone that they probably won’t be under threat of going down, but at just eight points clear of Millwall, they’re not totally out of the woods yet. Arsenal, meanwhile, are the same as they ever were. There’s no chance they win the title and no chance they drop out of the top four.
The Gunners are finally getting healthy, but they’ll still be missing a couple of players. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is out for sure for Arsenal, while Mikel Arteta isn’t totally ruled out, but still not likely to play. Reading FC will be without a couple of names familiar to Premier League fans, Pavel Pogrebnyak and Nathaniel Chalobah.
