Arsenal travel to Stoke City with a mathematical hope of winning the Premier League, but it would be stretching the bounds of reason to suggest that they should expect much there. Meanwhile, Tony Pulis' Stoke are essentially safe in mid-table, with nothing to worry about save injury ahead of their FA Cup final date at Wembley against Manchester City. Cesc Fabregas' injury raises an interesting storyline: Aaron Ramsey starts against Ryan Shawcross, the man who broke the Arsenal midfielders leg on this same ground in February 2010.
