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."
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?
Arsenal v Stoke (15:00 BST)
Quote MessageWe feel we are better equipped to deal with Arsenal on the road now. We have players who can cause them problems. They have struggled at home, surprisingly, and maybe on the back of a break, going there this weekend could be a good time to go. Maybe teams used to fear going to the big clubs but that isn't the case any more. They travel with the intention of causing problems.
Mark Hughes, Stoke manager
Arsenal v Stoke (15:00 BST)
Quote MessageStoke have been here a long time in the Premier League and they have improved their technical quality. They have always had good teams and overall when we go to Stoke they are always specially motivated against us. There is a little bit of history because of what happened and overall it was always very difficult for us. For me there was never bad blood, it was just a game that was always very difficult for us.

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)
Image source, Getty ImagesArsene 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?

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

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. , external
"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."

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?
