Venue: Bet365 Stadium (Stoke on Trent).
After beating Manchester United last weekend and getting the momentum going with another win over Southampton on the midweek, the Gunners will face Stoke City at Bet365 Stadium on Saturday with the aim of keeping the top four chances alive.
Both teams managed to remain unbeaten in the previous round and with the season coming to a close, they might engage in a slow game due to lack of motivation.
Stoke City
As usual at this time of year, Stoke City are comfortably sitting in the middle of Premier League standings, this time in the 13th place with 41 points. They drew two games in a row, with West Ham 0-0 and Bournemouth 2-2, respectively.
The hosts have a mixed home record this season. In 18 games so far they won 7, drew 6 and lost 5 outings, scoring 23 and allowing 20 goals in the process. Stoke City are safe from the relegation and at this point, they have nothing to play for so we might see their manager roll the dice ahead of the upcoming clash.
Arsenal
Arsenal’s boss Arsene Wenger is certainly happy after beating Jose Mourinho for the first time but still, his team is in horrible shape. The Gunners were beaten in 4 out of the last 5 games on the road.
After last week’s clash against the Red Devils, Arsenal have a solid opportunity to overtake the 5th position from Jose Mourinho’s men as they are only two points behind but with a game at hand.
Stoke vs Arsenal: Head-to-head
The Gunners beat Stoke back in December’s reverse with 3:1. However, the guests are without an away win against Stoke since 2010.
Stoke vs Arsenal: Prediction
The guests won’t give up easily despite they are lacking motivation. The Gunners are coming to Bet365 Stadium for three points, but taking recent meetings into account, Wenger’s men have a mountain to climb for the full prize.
