Stoke usually performed well at home against Arsenal, but this tradition was in doubt after the "potters" lost to Arsen Wenger's team 1: 4 last season.

In the first round of the "Gunners" have proved that with the attack they have everything in order, sending the ball into the Leicester 4 gates (though it was missing and 3, but that's another issue). In this match, a higher probability of a repeat of last year's result than the fact that Stoke again will be able to upset Arsenal.

No one will be surprised by the second consecutive defeat of "potters", and if you remember that ahead of Stoke still matches with Manchester United and Chelsea, then Mark Hughes can only sympathize.

- Over the last 7 home games, Stoke only lost once to Arsenal (B3 H3).

- Arsenal for the first time since the 2009/2010 season can win in the first two rounds of the Premier League.

- Peter Crouch scored 9 goals in the Premier League against Arsenal - more than any other team.

- Alexander Lacazette can become the first player of Arsenal, who scored in the first two Premier League games.

The trainers say:.

Mark Hughes, Stoke City: "We hope to involve all summer beginners. Someone will come out in the base, someone will stay on the bench. Stoke always hopes to become stronger after the transfer window, and of all the players who left the team, only 1 was unconditionally the main. We have replaced them with those who are potentially able to always come out at the base.

I believe that we have become much stronger due to work in the transfer market, but before the transfer window closes we will try to increase even more ".

Arsene Wenger, Arsenal: "I do not believe too much in uncomfortable opponents.

We beat Stoke at the exit last season and are going to do it and now.

I think that Mertezaker will be able to play, but for Alexis it's too early. He must recover for the match against Liverpool. Mustafi and Coquelin fall into the ".
