Wenger: Reading will stay up

Ahead of their Premiership match at the weekend at the Emirates this weekend, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has declared his belief that Reading will stay in the top flight this season - but insists the Gunners will not be doing them any favours.

Wenger told arsenal.com, "They will stay up, I believe.

"But we cannot feel sorry for anybody. We want maximum points and to have a strong finish to the season.

"But I believe Reading will stay up. They will be tight against us this time, more cautious because they would be happy with a point."
