--- Stoke City v Arsenal ---
V
Stoke are pretty limited, but still have a decent home record. Whatever team we put out, we should really be beating them though because they shouldn't threaten us too much. A week's rest and maybe Ozil, Vermaelen and Gibbs back. We could have a defensive CRISIS if Monreal and Koscielny are still out and no-one returns though. Hope we start with high energy like yesterday rather than let them into the game and turn it into a slog.
Szczesny
Sagna
Mertesacker
Koscielny/Vermaelen
Gibbs/Monreal
Arteta
Wilshere
Rosicky/Cazorla
Oxlade
Giroud
Podolski
Prediction: 1-3 (Crouchinho, Podolski, Giroud, Mertesacker).
Come on Arsenal .
