Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici: 'Pressure is on Arsenal'

Reading goalkeeper Adam Federici has claimed that the pressure will be on Arsenal to win Saturday's FA Cup semi-final between the teams.

The Championship outfit will meet the holders at Wembley Stadium this weekend with a place in next month's final at stake.

While maintaining that the Royals have a chance of winning the tie, 30-year-old Federici insists that the Gunners remain the heavy favourites to go through.

"This time I think all the pressure is on Arsenal," he told the club's official website. "We can go out, enjoy the day and play good football. Everyone knows we're the underdogs so we have nothing to lose and we look forward to that. We know we have a chance, even if it's small."

Reading currently sit in 18th place in the Championship table, eight points clear of the relegation zone.
