No new worries for Royals

Reading have no new injury worries ahead of their Saturday lunchtime trip to Arsenal.

Winger Glen Little is set to start after more than a year out with a heel problem and skipper Graeme Murty is back in contention following a knee injury.

Utility man Brynjar Gunnarsson is available again following groin surgery and teenage winger James Henry will be hoping to be involved after manager Steve Coppell promised changes from the side that flopped at home to Fulham last week.

Provisional squad: Hahnemann, Federici, Rosenior, Murty, de la Cruz, Ingimarsson, Bikey, Duberry, Sonko, Shorey, Golbourne, Little, Oster, Henry, Harper, Matejovsky, Hunt, Convey, Kebe, Kitson, Doyle, Long, Cisse, Fae, Gunnarsson.
