Another game, another big game in a roller coaster ride of a season. The Gunners really need a win to get their season back on track. It was all going so well until three defeats on he bounce left Arsene Wenger's side in big, big trouble. Today is a real test of the kids' confidence. Are they mentally strong enough to put the previous games behind them? Can they maintain the unbeaten record at The Emirates? So many questions, so little time to think.
You would have thought being unbeaten at home, against Reading, the team we thrashed 4-0 at The Madejski Stadium, would be an easy win, but you would be stupid to write The Royals off. They nearly came back from 3-0 down in midweek against Manchester United, showing that they have character. Plus there is the small problem that half the squad are unavaliable for the game due to injuries and suspensions. The only good news being that Abou Diaby and Johan Djourou are back.
3rd place Liverpool entertain league leaders Manchester United this lunchtime, a game in which Arsenal will be paying close attention to. The Gunners are 4 points behind Liverpool with 2 games in hand, so should both United and Arsenal win, it would boost Arsenal's chances of finishing 3rd or even second dramatically.
Team Prediction:
---------------------------------Lehmann--------------------------------
Gallas----------------Senderos-------------Djourou----------------Clichy
Hleb-----------------Fabregas-------------Gilberto------------Ljungberg
----------------------Aliadiere-------------Baptista----------------------
Score Prediction:
Arsenal 2-1 Reading
Scorers: Baptista, Hleb and Lita
