Last season Arsenal left fans without European cups, while getting the opportunity to fully concentrate on domestic tournaments. The team went through the tournament distance in the English League Cup, where they stopped only at the semi-final stage. The Londoners lost at this stage to Liverpool. In the FA Cup the “red-whites” showed themselves even worse. The team unexpectedly failed in a duel with Nottingham Forest (0:1) at the first stage, which represents the second most important division of the country. In the English Championship the start was a little crumpled, but after 32 rounds the Gunners recorded 18 wins and three draws, which brought 57 points and fifth place in the standings. However, today’s hosts are inferior to the fourth Tottenham only in terms of additional indicators. After a series of three defeats in a row, Mikel Arteta’s wards beat Chelsea (4:2). Tomiyasu, Party and Tierney, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play today.
While the Royals aren’t currently at the top, they were undoubtedly among the better sides of any team in the competition. The most striking feature of their journey so far is that they have won the match, although they have mostly lost the toss. As it currently stands in the points table, the Royals are well placed in the first half and will be excited. Another win here, not to say they aren’t yet, will put them in a position to dictate terms. More today ipl match betting can be obtained from the link provided.
