Arsenal have been in some key positions but the final ball has let them down.

It looked like a penalty to me initially, because Granit Xhaka goes over the top on Joe Allen.

Xhaka does something stupid every game he plays in, he's on the edge for no reason.

Gooner72:  All I have seen from Xhaka is that he is a liability for Arsenal.

Joe Allen's touch was a little heavy, but he nicked the ball before the challenge. It was a very soft penalty to give away. Anywhere else in the pitch it is a foul, so it is a penalty. A little against the run of play. 

No doubt about the penalty. Charlie Adam went to the right and Petr Cech went to his left.

Stoke are getting into good positions on the right side but their final ball is very poor. Arsenal's movement and passing is also good and you feel it is only a matter of time before they get behind that Stoke defence.

This had been a bright and breezy start. Both sides have been guilty of giving the ball away. I don't think this will be goalless... That will be the kiss of death.

Stoke have more confidence, but they always get beat here. They last won a game against Arsenal in 1981 when Lee Chapman scored. That was at Highbury. They must have seen the fixture and thought bad memories, but they are playing better.

Over the last last six games who had more points? You would say Arsenal, but it is Stoke by a point, so they are doing well. They have more confidence, score more goals, tougher to beat. They have improved.

Mark Hughes done a terrific job there. Teams that come up from the Championship must look at Stoke and think that is what we want to be.

Arsenal make six changes from the side that beat FC Basel 4-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday. 

In come Petr Cech, Nacho Monreal, Shkodran Mustafi, Francis Coquelin, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Dropping out are David Ospina, Rob Holding, Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey, Lucas Perez and Alex Iwobi.  

Arsenal XI: Cech, Gabriel, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Xhaka, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Sanchez.

Sanchez is looking around the Premier League and seeing what people are earning and I think Arsenal have to get to £200,000, £250,000 - they have got to get there or he will go.

He mixes his game up well, he’s a talented player. He’s got all the abilities to be a number nine but if you need to switch him he can do that. He’s magical.

What a week so far for Arsenal. Five goals at West Ham and another four in Basel to top their Champions League group for the first time since 2011.

Arsenal are well placed in the league - will they push on and show us they are the real deal, or flounder and reveal familiar fragilities?

They have a fantastic home record against Stoke but the much-improved Potters will be no pushover.

Mark Hughes' men have lost just one of their last nine and have not conceded more than one goal in any of those games.

The recent switch to 3-4-3, external suits talented pair Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri (below), who will be very dangerous if Stoke are given chances on the counter-attack.
