Crouch (1' ), Bojan (35' ) and J. Walters (45' ), for Stoke, and by Cazorla (68' ) and A. Ramsey (70' ), for Arsenal.

After 9 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, the home team is in the 7th position, havinf won 32 points so far. In the last match, they have won at home against Norwich City by (3‑1), after in the previous match they have lost (2‑1) an away match against West Bromwich Albion. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 13 conceded.

They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 21 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around.

Stoke City is going through a very positive moment of the season after the excellent results conquered against theoretically stronger opponents. Stoke usually plays with an offensive strategy, being the midfield composed of technical top players as in the case of Arnautovic, Afellay and Bojan. The Austrian Arnautovic is the best team scorer with seven goals. However, it must be observed that the home team has weaknesses in defensive dead balls. For this match, the coach Mark Hughes won’t count on Cameron, Muniesa, Ireland, Given and Shaqiri, all recovering from injury. 

Confirmed Lineup: Jack Butland, Glen Johnson, Erik Pieters, Ryan Shawcross, Philipp Wollscheid, Ibrahim Afellay, Glenn Whelan, Jonathan Walters, Joselu, Bojan Krkić, Marko Arnautović.
Coach: M. O'Neill.

In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Newcastle United, by (1‑0). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Liverpool, by (3‑3). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 27 goals scored and 10 conceded.

In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 11 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition.

It’s important to note the best player of the visiting team: Ozil is in great shape and can decide the match at any time. Giroud is still the best team scorer with 18 goals scored. For this match the coach won’t count on a large number of players: Rosicky, Wilshere, Cazorla, Sanchez Ospina, Welbeck and Coquelin. 

Confirmed Lineup: Petr Čech, Bellerín, Nacho Monreal, Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscielny, Mathieu Flamini, Aaron Ramsey, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud, Joel Campbell.
