Royals face Arsenal

12:33pm Fri 18th Apr 08:: written by Dave Goodwin

Royals' Steve Coppell has promised his team will tackle tomorrow's clash at the Emirates with attack in mind.

"If you play for a draw you'll get hammered," he said. "You have to go there with the intent to hurt the opposition and when you've not got the ball you have to defend well."

Graham Murty could return for Royals after recovering from a knee injury, while utility man Brynjar Gunnarsson is fit again groin surgery. 

Arsène Wenger will wait on the fitness of Manuel Almunia before deciding his squad. The Spanish keeper injured his wrist a week and missed the 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford. 

Midfielder Denilson is back after a hamstring problem but the Gunners will be without Justin Hoyte, Bacary Sagna and Mathieu Flamini.
