Paul Lambert is hoping his own experience of winning at the Emirates Stadium can help Stoke end their miserable away run against Arsenal.
The Potters' hopes of avoiding relegation from the Premier League are looking increasingly bleak and history is not on their side for Sunday's fixture.
Stoke last won at Arsenal in 1981 and have lost on all 15 visits since, including the nine times they have played at the Emirates.
But Lambert can look back to a winning trip with Aston Villa on the first day of the 2013/14 season and will head to north London confident of causing an upset.
