Arsenal v Stoke City, Saturday 3pm
Just as Stoke looked as though they were pulling away from the foot of the Premier League, an unexpected and slightly undeserved defeat at home to Blackpool mean that Tony Pulis’ team are a little close to the bottom of the table for comfort. The past couple of trips to the Emirates have not yielded anything, although the Potters will travel there with a fair degree of confidence.
After all, West Brom, Newcastle and Tottenham have all won at this ground since the season began and Stoke are 11/1 with Victor Chandler to follow in their footsteps and put a massive dent in Arsenal’s Premier League title hopes. The Gunners looked anything other than champions when losing 1-0 at Old Trafford on Monday, although Arsene Wenger will be keen for an immediate reaction and the home side are 1/3 (Canbet) to bank three precious points.
This fixture resembles something of a grudge match considering that Ryan Shawcross was involved in an unsavoury challenge with Aaron Ramsey last season, although the latter is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest. It’s been Samir Nasri pulling the strings in the middle of the park recently and the Frenchman is 5/1 with bet365 to open the scoring as he did in a recent home match against Fulham.
Wenger continues to opt for Marouane Chamakh ahead of Robin van Persie and the Moroccan can be backed at 7/2 with bet365 to score first, with the Gunners on offer at 5/6 (Paddy Power) to lead at half-time and full-time. Stoke would clearly be delighted to land a point (9/2 bet365) from this tricky fixture and Kenwyne Jones could create a few problems for a defence that has been looking shaky. The City striker is 11/1 (Paddy Power) to break the deadlock.
