Arsenal - Reading Match Preview

 

Arsenal face Reading tomorrow in an early 12:45 kick off at the Emirates Stadium, this is an important game for both teams in different cases, Arsenal will look to bounce back from their recent dip in form where they have dropped points at the crucial stage, Now that Arsenal are out of the title race Arsene Wenger will look to go as they mean for next season and win their remaining games to send out a message for next season, As for Reading they are battling for their lives to stay up and will give everything in this game so Arsenal have to be wary of the threat Reading pose.

 

On the injury front for Arsenal Justin Hoyte, Sagna, Flamini, Rosicky, and Almunia  are out for the visit of Reading, Diaby serves his final game for suspension, The injury news for Reading is that Glenn Little could make his first start for over a year no other injury news for Reading.

 

Our featured player Nicklas Bendtner is likely to be on the bench, i personally think he deserves a start along with other substitutes to prove a point for next season, most of Nicklas’s appearances this season has been from coming off the bench for the last 20 minutes, 30 minutes and he has impressed, again he impressed on Sunday he came on and showed an urgency and nearly scored with two headers but Van der Saar clawed both efforts away , hopefully he along with other squad members can get a few games for the rest of the season to prove they are ready for first team regular action.

 

my prediction: Arsenal 4-0 Reading, Hopefully we can send out a message for next season, i really hope Nicklas can play a full 90 mins.
