Everything you need to know ahead of the Premier League match at Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon
Arsenal return to domestic action aiming to restore some pride in a disappointing Premier League season which sees them currently sit in sixth place.
The Gunners face Stoke on Sunday and with a top four spot seemingly out of the question it could be a case of having one eye on Thursday's Europa League quarter-final clash against CSKA Moscow.
Arsene Wenger's side were dealt a scare with the news that Jack Wilshere sustained an injury on international duty but his return means that Arsenal almost have a fully fit squad to choose from.
The Gunners will be wary of Peter Crouch if he plays, as the gangly striker has scored nine Premier League goals against Arsenal, with Robbie Fowler (10) and Wayne Rooney (12) the only two players who have scored more.
Alexandre Lacazette could make his return from injury when Arsenal host Stoke on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
The France international underwent knee surgery following the 1-0 defeat to Tottenham on February 10.
But his return to fitness is timely given fellow striker and club-record signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is cup-tied in the Europa League, where Arsenal face CSKA Moscow in the quarter-finals.
