Stoke City v Arsenal

Stoke have no new injury worries, with only long-term absentees Ibrahim Afellay and Stephen Ireland sidelined.

Striker Saido Berahino could start after being an unused substitute on his return from illness last time out.

Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain should be fit despite limping off early in the midweek game against Southampton with a hamstring injury.

Laurent Koscielny, who missed that match with a calf problem, will be assessed ahead of Saturday's game.

Simon Brotherton: "With four wins from the last five games, Arsenal appear to be hitting form at just the right time as they try to extend their remarkable run of continuous top-four finishes to 21 seasons.
