Stoke City vs. Arsenal: Wenger targets end to Britannia hoodoo

The Britannia Stadium has not always been kind to Arsenal, but Arsene Wenger is keen to improve their record at Stoke City on Sunday.

Arsene Wenger has challenged Premier League leader Arsenal to show it has taken "a big step forward" by ending its Britannia Stadium hoodoo against Stoke City on Sunday.

The Britannia has not proved a happy hunting ground for Arsenal in recent times, with the Gunners losing three and drawing two of their last five visits to Staffordshire.

Indeed, a 3-2 loss in last season's corresponding fixture saw Wenger targeted by angry supporters when boarding a train back to London.
