All over and Stoke are well beaten. Arsenal could arguably have had more but for Jack Butland.
PENALTY APPEAL
Arsenal 2-0 Stoke
Olivier Giroud falls inside the area under a challenge. Foul? Referee thinks not, and replays show it is the correct decision, with Giroud just losing his footing.

GOAL - Arsenal 2-0 Stoke
Olivier Giroud
Game, set and match. Olivier Giroud nods in from Santi Cazorla's free-kick and that goal will leave Arsene Wenger with a big, beaming smile on his face. Both his main strikers getting the goals today.

Chelsea, the defending Premier League champions, have just lost 3-1 to Everton. If results go against them, the Blues could be in the relegation zone on Monday.

Arsene Wenger has made a rather bold claim that Arsenal have enough firepower to fight for the title this season - challenging Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez to score 20 goals each. Do you agree with Wenger, Arsenal fans?
And Stoke supporters. Are you concerned with your side's start to the season? Or are you confident enough that performances suggest the results will come?
Stoke are still without a Premier League win this season, which is a surprise, but do I really fancy them to go Arsenal and win? No, I don't.
The Gunners have only picked up one point from their first two home games, but they were unlucky to have a perfectly legitimate goal ruled out in their draw with Liverpool and I think they will have something to celebrate at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Lawro's prediction : 2-0
MOTD commentator's view
Arsenal v Stoke (15:00 BST)
Jonathan Pearce
BBC football commentator
"It was 29 August 1981 when Stoke last won at Arsenal.
"It was a month after Prince Charles married Princess Diana. Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett had broken the world mile record three times in 10 days and Aneka's Japanese Boy knocked Shakin' Stevens' Green Door off number one in the charts.
"With Charlie Adam and Ibrahim Afellay banned and Mame Diouf possibly injured, their hopes of causing Arsenal the sort of headaches they do at the Britannia Stadium don't look bright.
"But Arsenal have found scoring at home problematic. Couple that with Stoke's durable away record of four draws in five and it could be a frustrating day for home fans."
Team news
Arsenal v Stoke (15:00 BST)
Just the one change for Arsenal as Mesut Ozil returns from injury and replaces Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Theo Walcott starts in attack for the second game in a row.
Stoke boss Mark Hughes makes three changes with the injured Glen Johnson missing out and Charlie Adam and Ibrahim Afellay suspended. Phil Bardsley, Joselu and Marko Arnautovic come into the side. Striker Jon Walters misses out with a knee injury.
Arsenal fans have enjoyed a strong start to the season in our new Predictor game - they are fifth in the leaderboard when it comes to guessing the outcome of Premier League fixtures. Stoke's supporters haven't fared quite so well - they're in 16th.

For 34 years, the visit of Stoke has been a welcome fixture for Arsenal.
Not since 1981 have the Potters managed to a record a win at the Gunners - a year when the first London marathon was held, a Ricky Villa wonder goal won the FA Cup for Tottenham against Manchester City and Adam and the Ants were riding high in the charts.
Since, then Arsenal have won all 13 meetings with Stoke on home soil. Will the visitors 'stand and deliver' the three points to the hosts once again?

Arsenal 0-0 Stoke
Alexis Sanchez is everywhere at the moment and he sees a goal-bound shot blocked after some good work by Mesut Ozil opens up the chance inside the area.

HITS THE WOODWORK
Arsenal 0-0 Stoke
My word! Arsenal denied again by the woodwork as this time Alexis Sanchez's crisp, low strike skims across the surface of the pitch and hits the bottom of the right upright.
Arsene Wenger scratches his brow in frustration, but Stoke are riding their luck at the moment.

Arsenal 0-0 Stoke
Another chance for Arsenal as Alexis Sanchez curls a free-kick over the wall and towards the far post, but Jack Butland gets across to push the ball behind for a corner.
The Gunners are certainly keeping Butland on his toes with this fine start.
GREAT SAVE!
Arsenal 0-0 Stoke
Good from Arsenal! Santi Cazorla floats the ball into the middle of the box and Alexis Sanchez rises to head goalwards but Jack Butland does superbly to push the ball on to the post. Theo Walcott then skews a shot wide from the rebound.

Arsenal 0-0 Stoke
Typically patient passing from Arsenal in the very early stages as they test out the Stoke defence. Aaron Ramsey clips a pass out wide to Nacho Monreal, but his ball into the box is a bad one and Stoke clear.
KICK-OFF
Arsenal 0-0 Stoke
Off we go then! Stoke get things under way.

Chris Sutton
Former Blackburn striker on Final Score
"To score goals you have to create chances and sides always sit in when they visit the Emirates. Arsenal have just not been incisive enough so far this season."
Good stat/bad stat
Arsenal average a league-high 65% ball possession this season, but it comes with a catch - the Gunners have the second lowest shot conversion percentage in the Premier League.
Will they develop the cutting edge today that they have been missing so far this season?
Stoke 'have no fear'

'No bad blood'
Arsenal v Stoke (15:00 BST)
Chelsea feeling the blues...
Arsenal fans may not be best pleased with how things are going so far but it could be worse.
Chelsea, the defending Premier League champions, have just lost 3-1 to Everton. If results go against them, the Blues could be in the relegation zone on Monday.
What's going on?

Arsenal v Stoke (15:00 BST)
Arsene Wenger has made a rather bold claim that Arsenal have enough firepower to fight for the title this season - challenging Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez to score 20 goals each. Do you agree with Wenger, Arsenal fans?
And Stoke supporters. Are you concerned with your side's start to the season? Or are you confident enough that performances suggest the results will come?

Lawro predicts...
Arsenal v Stoke
Stoke are still without a Premier League win this season, which is a surprise, but do I really fancy them to go Arsenal and win? No, I don't.
The Gunners have only picked up one point from their first two home games, but they were unlucky to have a perfectly legitimate goal ruled out in their draw with Liverpool and I think they will have something to celebrate at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Lawro's prediction : 2-0
MOTD commentator's view
Arsenal v Stoke (15:00 BST)
Jonathan Pearce
BBC football commentator
"It was 29 August 1981 when Stoke last won at Arsenal.
"It was a month after Prince Charles married Princess Diana. Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett had broken the world mile record three times in 10 days and Aneka's Japanese Boy knocked Shakin' Stevens' Green Door off number one in the charts.
"With Charlie Adam and Ibrahim Afellay banned and Mame Diouf possibly injured, their hopes of causing Arsenal the sort of headaches they do at the Britannia Stadium don't look bright.
"But Arsenal have found scoring at home problematic. Couple that with Stoke's durable away record of four draws in five and it could be a frustrating day for home fans."

Stoke to stand and deliver?
Arsenal v Stoke (15:00 BST)
For 34 years, the visit of Stoke has been a welcome fixture for Arsenal.
Not since 1981 have the Potters managed to a record a win at the Gunners - a year when the first London marathon was held, a Ricky Villa wonder goal won the FA Cup for Tottenham against Manchester City and Adam and the Ants were riding high in the charts.
Since, then Arsenal have won all 13 meetings with Stoke on home soil. Will the visitors 'stand and deliver' the three points to the hosts once again?
