Gary Lineker introduces live coverage from Wembley of the FA Cup semi-final between Reading and defending champions Arsenal.
Championship club Reading last played at this stage of the competition 88 years ago and they are vying to reach their first final. However, an Arsenal side boasting the attacking talents of Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud will start as heavy favourites in their record-equalling 28th FA Cup semi-final.
The Gunners have won all 12 previous meetings against Reading, with the three most recent games producing 24 goals. Half of those came in an extraordinary League Cup tie in 2012 when a Theo Walcott hat-trick inspired Arsenal's comeback from 4-0 down to win 7-5 after extra-time.
Commentary comes from Steve Wilson and Danny Murphy.
