Arsenal
Stoke
- Arsenal will be without Kieran Gibbs after the left-back limped off in the first half against Liverpool with a hamstring injury that will rule him out for 4-6 weeks.
- Andre Santos will likely play at left back, though new signing Nacho Monreal could go straight into the starting XI, with very few people of the belief that Santos is good enough for this level.
- Aaron Ramsey has done well in his preferred central midfield position whilst Arteta has been out and he will play there again.
- Both Andy Wilkinson and Geoff Cameron have recovered from injury and are available to play at Arsenal. They could start at right- and left-back respectively.
- Stoke therefore have an almost fully fit squad to choose from, and will probably stick with a familiar looking lineup.
- Tony Pulis experimented with a back 3 of sorts against Wigan but will probably return to a back 4 in this game.
Actually Sagna was very good yesterday, must give credit where it's due. He was arguably our most consistent player in last 3 years. Wish to see more of Jenko but let's wait, his time will come.
hope to see jenkinson on the RB next time in the EPL because sagna is frustrating really... finally wenger put cazorla on the bench, he needed some rest. Afc won, chelsea lost, that's good :)
Please whoscored want a version in Spanish ... because I do not understand English. thanks
Hoping Giroud can handle Stoke's physicality and grab goals!
