Reading defender Alex Pearce has admitted that this Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal will be one of the "biggest" games that he has ever played in.
The Championship outfit will go up against the holders of the coveted trophy at Wembley this weekend.
Arsenal have won eight of their last Premier League fixtures, while in contrast, Reading have only won once in 10 league matches.
"It's going to be a very special day for everyone involved in the club," Pearce told the club's official website. "For myself, personally, I've been at the club since I was 12 and it's going to be an absolute honour to be involved in a day like that.
"We're just looking to go there, give a good account of ourselves and let Arsenal know that they've been in a game. Saturday will definitely be up there, right up there with the biggest matches I've played in."
The other semi-final between Aston Villa and Liverpool will be held on Sunday.
