Stoke City will be looking to continue their climb into the top four of the Premier League table with a win over Arsenal. Join The Roar from 3:15am AEDT for live scores of this Premier League fixture.

Stoke City will host Arsenal, looking for their third-straight win as recent performances find them fighting for a spot among the top four.

Coming off a 3-1 win over Norwich City in their last fixture, the Potters will be confident that they can upset the Gunners and give their home fans something else to smile about.

Jonathon Walters and Joselu found the net for Stoke in the second half, before a Norwich own-goal sealed the win for the Potters.

After a thrilling 3-all draw with Liverpool in their last fixture, Arsenal will be eager to get three points away from home and return to the top of the Premier League table.

Arsenal came back from behind twice in the first half through Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud, before going 3-2 up via Giroud in the second half. The Gunners however, could not hold on to the lead, giving up their chance for three points in the 90th minute of the fixture.

Arsene Wenger’s men cannot afford to switch off if they wish to return to the top of the Premier League table, a draw will not do as they sit two points behind Leicester City.

Arsenal do not have history on their side, having only won one of their last seven games at Britannia Stadium.

The last time these sides faced off was last September. Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud both found the net for Arsenal as they downed Stoke City 2-nil at the Emirates.

The Gunners started off slowly against Liverpool, but have proven this season that they can produce goals out of thin air. When they start firing, they can’t be stopped. Expect Arsenal to get their second win in eight away games against the Potters.

Prediction: Stoke City 0 – 2 Arsenal

Can Stoke City get yet another win at home against the Gunners, or can Arsenal down the Potters and return to the top of the Premier League table? Join The Roar from 3:15am AEDT for live scores to find out.
