Arsenal v Stoke City Free Tips & Preview

You do not want to talk to Arsenal fans about Arsène Wenger’s transfer policy. Fans are furious that Wenger did not invest in acquiring a top-class striker and an anchor man. Olivier Giroud and Francis Coquelin are now pivotal to Arsenal’s season, as is the ever-important Alexis Sánchez. All three are needed to help kick-start Arsenal’s season.

Stoke didn’t really surprise anyone by dropping points in a loss to Liverpool and a draw with Tottenham. But what surprises people is that they lost 1-0 at home to West Brom, with Charlie Adam and Ibrahim Afellay both sent off in the first half. Stoke will deprived of both for this game.

Expectations

Arsenal’s high octane attack needs to make an appearance eventually. Sánchez’s teammates have not done a good job in matching his level of attacking quality. The likes of Mesut Özil and Aaron Ramsey have been uninspiring during Arsenal’s first four league games, resulting in the Gunners struggling to find the net.

Wenger now has a strong goalkeeper to go with a promising defence that is bossed by Laurent Koscielny. Therefore, it is odd to see a Wenger team that has struggled in attack. Fortunately, however, they play a Stoke team that has been badly weakened.

Stoke’s issues began with Asmir Begovi? departing for Chelsea to become the deputy to Thibaut Courtois. On so many occasions, the tall Bosnian saved Stoke from defeat. Without his presence, they are much more vulnerable at the back, especially considering that leading centre-back Ryan Shawcross is missing due to injury.

Mark Hughes’ team is likely to be on the back foot for most of the game. The absences of Adam and Afellay will prevent them from retaining possession and craving out chances on the counter-attack. Arsenal should break them down and score goals.
