Reading To Face Arsenal In League Cup

22 September 2016
By Hob Nob Anyone?

Reading will travel to Arsenal in the fourth round of the League Cup, following the 2-1 away victory at Brighton in the week. The game will take place at the Emirates Stadium on either 25 or 26 October. Arsenal were 4-0 away winners at Nottingham Forest in the week to book their place in the last 16 of the competition. Reading will be hoping to avoid a repeat of their last meeting with Arsenal in the League Cup four years ago - the Royals raced into a four goal lead at the Madejski Stadium only to go down 5-7 in extra time as the Gunners staged a dramatic comeback. With Reading's solid run of historical defeats against Arsenal it seems a near certainty that the draw will signal an end to Reading's run in the competition - but at least we have "nothing to lose".
