Olivier Giroud will hope to start his first league game of the season after scoring in Arsenal's last two matches.

Santi Cazorla and Hector Bellerin remain sidelined, while the game comes too soon for Lucas Perez, who is back in training after an ankle problem.

Bournemouth's Artur Boruc and Andrew Surman are doubts with respective back and hamstring problems, while Gunners loanee Jack Wilshere is ineligible.

Adam Smith is back after a ban and Jordon Ibe returns following illness.

Watford pair Younes Kaboul and Juan Zuniga are doubts with minor knocks, but Jose Holebas returns from a ban.

Isaac Success, Craig Cathcart and Kenedy remain sidelined by injuries

Stoke are short of midfield options, with Joe Allen suspended, Geoff Cameron out with a knee injury and Glenn Whelan doubtful with a calf problem.

Record signing Giannelli Imbula could be recalled, while Glen Johnson should replace full-back Phil Bardsley, who is out for five weeks with a knee injury.

A group of clubs are pulling away. Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City have established themselves as early competitors in the title race, opening up a gap between themselves and fifth-placed Tottenham.

Today's game against Bournemouth is a big one for Arsenal. A win will see them join the breakaway leaders. A defeat could see them dragged back into the peloton developing behind. And it'll have a distinctly north London tip.
