Charlie Adam
Stoke City midfielder on BBC Radio 5 live's weekend preview show

"To play Arsenal you have to be different to them. That's why we've been successful over the years. A lot of people expect us to beat Arsenal.

"They've been labelled as a soft team and that's helped us. People think we'll kick them but we have to press them. If you let them play, they'll hurt you. We have to get after them from the first minute and chase everything."

Worst away day experiences?

Billy Alexander: That time we were playing away at Stoke and Özil wasn't in the squad.

Denis: I assume a wet, windy Tuesday night in Stoke would be the most common answer.

Ian Dallibar: Leeds away with QPR 2010, first away defeat of the season and took nine hours to get home thanks to the snow.

Mesut Ozil is out with a foot injury. New signing Mohamed Elneny is on the bench while Alexis Sanchez, who is reported to be close to a return from a hamstring injury, is not involved.

Team news coming up. Will new signing Mohamed Elneny feature for Arsenal?

Sound advice from Stoke City to fans visiting the Britannia after a wintry night in the Potteries. Take note of the "wrap up warm" bit...

So, we've established that Arsenal fans don't have fond memories of visiting Stoke. 

We've all got bad experiences of visiting an away ground - the 250-mile journey only to discover the game was off, the £40 seat that comes with a view of a giant post instead of the pitch, the away end with no roof, the overpriced pie you wouldn't feed your dog.

It's cold, it's been snowing and the Premier League's big-hitters hate going there. 

The Britannia Stadium has proved a graveyard for Chelsea,Manchester City and Manchester United in the last two months. 

Will Arsenal also perish? The Gunners have failed to win on their last five visits while Wenger was jeered by fans when boarding a train after his last visit to the Britannia in December 2014.

It's the one fixture Arsene Wenger dreads.

When the Arsenal boss took his players to Stoke City in May 2011, the Gunners were six points behind leaders Manchester United with three games remaining. They lost 3-1 and another title dream was shattered.

In March 2014 Wenger's men were one point behind leaders Chelsea with 11 games remaining when they arrived at the Britannia Stadium. They lost 1-0 and finished the season fourth.

Last season's visit to the Potteries was just as bad - 3-0 behind at half-time and 10 men on the pitch at full-time after Calum Chambers was sent off.

This time the Gunners arrive in Staffordshire well placed to win the Premier League for the first time since 2004. Can Stoke help shatter Wenger's title dream again?
