Here is how we predict Arsenal and Reading will line up for this week’s match:
To be played on Tuesday 25th October 2016 at 18:45. Venue: Emirates Stadium,
Odds: Arsenal 2/7, Draw 19/4, Reading 9/1
Arsenal welcome Reading to the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening for their EFL Cup fourth round clash.
The Gunners dropped two vital points at the weekend as they could only draw 0-0 with Middlesbrough, but their form prior to that match suggests they will be too much for the Royals unless there is one hell of a shock.

Arsenal are currently second in the Premier League, slipping below Manchester City on goal-difference, while they top their Champions League group at the halfway stage, so it will be interesting to see how they approach the EFL Cup given their other responsibilities.
Arsenal certainly have the squad depth to cope and manager Arsene Wenger looks set to make some changes.
That said, he cannot call on Danny Welbeck, Per Mertesacker, Carl Jenkinson or Aaron Ramsey due to injury while summer signing Granit Xhaka remains suspended.
With that in mind here is how we expect the two sides to line up later this week:

- Emiliano Martínez
- Krystian Bielik
- Kieran Gibbs
- Rob Holding
- Gabriel Paulista
- Mohamed Elneny
- Ainsley Maitland-Niles
- Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
- Jeff Reine-Adélaïde
- Lucas Perez
- Yaya Sanogo
Reading predicted lineup
- Ali Al-Habsi
- Chris Gunter
- Paul McShane
- Liam Moore
- Jordan Obita
- Roy Beerens
- Joey van den Berg
- Garath McCleary
- John Swift
- Daniel Williams
- Yann Kermorgant
