Referee: Chris Foy
Although it has now gone way beyond cliché, Arsenal have shown, whether it is raining or not, they have struggled at the Britannia Stadium since Stoke’s promotion to the Premier League.
Including an FA Cup defeat, they have lost in three of their last four trips to the Potteries; a run of games that has done little to warm relations between Tony Pulis and Arsène Wenger, who will be looking to underline his team’s claims on third place.
Team News
Stoke defender Andy Wilkinson misses is out. He was substituted after 33 minutes at Newcastle last week, is also doubtful for Tuesday's meeting with Everton but could be back for the final two games of the campaign.
Winger Jermaine Pennant is back in contention after a virus.
Meanwhile, Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby will be assessed ahead of the trip to Stoke after suffering from a virus.
Who's Your Money On?
Czech international Tomas Rosicky has shrugged off a similar illness, while on-loan Chelsea midfielder Yossi Benayoun comes back in after being ineligible to play against his parent club last weekend.
Winger Theo Walcott may feature before the end of the season but Mikel Arteta is out for the rest of the campaign, along with Jack Wilshere and German centre-back Per Mertesacker.
