Preview: Arsenal vs. Stoke City

Match preview as Arsenal take on Stoke City on Sunday at the Emirates.

Arsenal take on Stoke City at the Emirates on Sunday looking to continue their run of straight wins, which is currently on six.

Mesut Ozil has slotted straight into the team and, alongside the continued rise of Aaron Ramsey, Arsenal turned over Sunderland 3-1 last weekend.

Stoke have had a fine start under new boss Mark Hughes and their doggedness was emphasised with the 0-0 draw against Manchester City in their last game.

Despite his side's start, Arsene Wenger has a lengthy injury list with Lukas Podolski, Santi Cazorla, Mikel Arteta, Abou Diaby and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all still out.

Hughes will be without Marc Muniesa, but Marko Arnautovic and Stephen Ireland could be in line to start for their new club.
