Steve Coppell makes six changes to his team for today's game with Arsenal.

Reading: Hahnemann; Murty (c), Rosenior, Bikey, Ingimarsson, Sonko; Cisse, Harper, Kebe, Convey; Kitson
Subs: Federici, Duberry, Fae, Matejovsky, Doyle

Jimmy Kebe makes his first start as we go with a 5-4-1 formation. Liam Rosenior plays left back, while Ibrahima Sonko is our third centre back alongside Ivar Ingimarsson and Andre Bikey.

Graeme Murty is back, and takes the captain's armband. There is no space for Stephen Hunt, Shane Long, John Oster and Nicky Shorey after they all started last week.

Coppell explained before kick off, "I look at the season, each of the four games poses a different challenge. No one team could cover all four games.

"If we'd won against Fulham, I might not have made these changes because I like to stick with a winning side. This is a different challenge, Arsenal are experienced, they pass the ball so we cater for that, but we can hurt them.

"After last week, I could make any changes I like. I will be judged at the end of the season.

On Kebe he said, "I hope he'll get the ball and attack players. He's quick, lean and lithe. He played for the reserves midweek and scored a couple of good goals.

"He had a knock so he's been out a couple of weeks, but he's back to full fitness and raring to go."

Arsenal make one change, with Theo Walcott in for Emannuel Eboue.

Arsenal: Lehmann; Toure, Clicky, Gallas (c), Song; Fabregas, Gilberto, Walcott, Hleb; Adebayor, Van Persie
Subs: Mannone, Senderos, Eboue, Denilson, Bendtner
