Having won eight straight games in the Barclays premier league, it will be fair to say that Arsenal are overwhelming favorites to beat Reading and qualify for FA Cup final yet again.
The reigning champions are in unstoppable form since the turn of the year and only a disaster performance can lead to their exit from the cup competition.
As far as the team news is concerned, the only player who might not be available for selection is England international Alex Oxlade Chamberlain as he is still out injured.
First team stars like captain Arteta and summer signing from Newcastle Debuchy may as well be included in the squad after returning from long term injuries but whether they will start or not, we shall see.
It is the semi final hence Arsenal will start the strongest side possible but may rest a few for the all important game against Chelsea as well.
Gibbs and Chambers may replace Monreal and Bellerin at full back positions, Gabriel may start in place of Mertesacker. Szczesny to start in goal in place of Ospina.

I think arsenal should use the winning Team instead of changing the Team.
Wenger should use the squad he has been using in winning his games so far,the FA cup is as important to us as the BPL is to us as well,so no practicals or experiments with our matches.So Arsene Wenger be alert pls & remember that we are the FA defending champions.
Not Chambers. I would rather have Debuchy come in for Bellerin.
walcot, welbeck, sanchez, ramsey, rosicky, coquelin, gibbs,chambers, gabriel, debuchy & szczesny
This is an important game leading to the game with Chelsea. Lets not take too much risk. I prefer Ospina in goal and Monreal in place of Gibbs. Also Welbeck for Giroud. If we go far ahead then we can substitute with the non regulars.
This is not the time for Arsene wenger to perform any experiment on players, We deserve to retain the cup!
Szciezny is a smoker and shud nt start any game 4 us.up gunner! #FA CUP AND EPL
