Reading midfielder Stephen Hunt admits tonight's opponents Arsenal are a "scary" proposition.

He told the Mirror: "What do I make of Arsenal this season? What did I make of Arsenal last season when they beat us 4-0? I thought they were outstanding.

"They were by far the most difficult team I played "This year they play a totally different brand of football to other teams which is unbelievably good to watch. They're scary sometimes.

"But while I respect them I won't be afraid of them when they come here. I'll thrive on it."
