Having at last won a match after a long sequence of disappointing results when it counted, Arsenal travel away to one of my least favourite places in the Premier League. And with Ramsey starting to make an impression finally more than a year after that pig Shawcross broke his leg, this match will be a test of character for the young Welshman. I hope he is unfazed by the hostile atmosphere and produces a good display out in the middle, especially as we are missing Cesc and Nasri for the game and Jack Wilshere seems to have gone off the boil in recent weeks.
Team news is that Diaby and Clichy also miss out for the match. Vermaelen makes a return in the substitutes bench after being out since September. Hope he is fit and ready to fire if and when called upon.
Although the title chances have seemingly disappeared following our miserable performances in recent weeks, we should still be professional and look to give Stoke a footballing lesson in their own backyard. Personally, I would be really happy if that a***ole Shawcross gets injured and is unable to play the FA cup final.
Team Line ups:
Stoke City:
Manager: Tony Pulis
Formation: 4-4-2
Starting line-ups: Begovic, Wilkinson, Lennie, Huth, Wilson, Pennant, Whelan, Whitehead, Delap, Walters, Jones
Substitutes: Sorensen, Collins, Pugh, Diao, Carew, Faye, Shotton.
Arsenal:
Manager: Arsene Wenger
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Starting line-ups: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Djourou, Gibbs, Song, Wilshere, Ramsey, Walcott, Arshavin, Van Persie
Substitutes: Lehmann, Vermaelen, Rosicky, Squillaci, Eboue, Chamakh, Bendtner
Final Prediction:
A 1-1 draw.(although I would dearly love a win)
