Arsenal have handed a start to three of their summer signings, Lukas Podolski, Santiago Cazorla, and Olivier Giroud as they look to overcome Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium in their first away game of the season.
Stoke Vs. Arsenal: Lineups
Lukas Podolski, Santiago Cazorla, and Olivier Giroud all start for Arsenal as they take on Stoke.
The Gunners, however, will be hampered by a string of injuries to key players, including Wojciech Szczesny, Jack Wilshere, Laurent Koscielny, and Bakary Sagna.
Stoke's team has a familiar look, but new signing Michael Kightly, who enjoyed a goalscoring debut, earns a start for the Potters, while Geoff Cameron also starts in midfield.
