Three big things to know
1. Arsenal will be without Santi Cazorla, Mathieu Debuchy, Per Mertesacker, and Danny Welbeck, all of whom are out injured; Héctor Bellerín, meanwhile, is still in doubt with an ankle injury. Stoke's injury list is even longer: Stephen Ireland, Ibrahim Afellay, Phil Bardsley, Jack Butland, and Ryan Shawcross are all injured; Bruno Martins Indi and Marko Arnautović are doubtful.
2. Stoke have never before won away at the Emirates Stadium, with their last away win over the Gunners coming in English football’s top flight back in 1981, when Arsenal were playing their home games at Highbury. Since then, Stoke’s only success has come at home, with their last win over the Gunners coming in Dec. 2014.
3. Arsenal's Alexis Sánchez has been on fire so far this season, and is currently joint-top of the Premier League's scoring charts with 11 goals. Stoke, meanwhile, have found goals a little harder to come by: their top scorer is summer signing Joe Allen, who has found the net on four occasions so far this season.
