Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Stoke City and Arsenal. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at Britannia Stadium in Stoke-on-Trent and can be live streamed here free.
What They're Saying
Stoke City manager Mark Hughes (via Sportal): "Glenn Whelan is progressing. The calf muscle is inflamed and we hope, if he has to miss one more game, he should be all right for the rest of the season. Stephen Ireland has picked a bit of illness up today, disappointingly because we thought we had seen the last of that. Jon Walters didn't train today, so we will have to see how he is a bit closer to kickoff. Hopefully, he will be back available to us."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via BBC): "He [Alexis Sanchez] has such a will to win, which is why he always finds something special."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Sanchez has lived up to his billing since joining from Barcelona. In 19 appearances across all competitions, the 25-year-old has 13 goals and three assists.
Stoke City's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Begovic; Pieters, Wilson, Shawcross, Bardsley; N'Zonzi, Cameron; Arnautovic, Bojan, Ireland; Diouf
Arsenal's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Monreal, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Chambers; Flamini, Ramsey; Sanchez, Cazorla, Chamberlain; Giroud
