Arsenal vs Stoke
Kick Off: 15:00
Date: 02-02-2013, Saturday
Arsene wenger may bring his January buy Monreal straight into the lineup after Gibbs is out injured and Stoke will be happy to use Begovic who is still in Britannia.
Begovic has been in great form in recent seasons and was tipped to join Manchester United in summer.
Arsenal will be without Kieran Gibbs after the left-back limped off in the first half against Liverpool with a hamstring injury. Aaron Ramsey has done well in his preferred central midfield position whilst Arteta has been out and he will play there again. Both Andy Wilkinson and Geoff Cameron have recovered from injury and are available to play at Arsenal. They could start at right- and left-back respectively.Stoke therefore have an almost fully fit squad to choose from, and will probably stick with a familiar looking lineup.
Probable Line up:
Arsenal:
Szczensy; Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Koscienly, Sagna; Wilshere, Ramsey; Cazorla, Podolski, Walcott; Giroud
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Stoke:
Begovic; Wilkinson, Huth, SHawcross, Cameron; Nzonzi; Ethrington, Whelan, Adam, Walters; Crouch
Formaton: 4-1-4-1
