GK: Damian Martinez

A player in surprisingly fine form at the moment, Arsenal’s third choice goalkeeper should continue to start here in the absence of Wojciech Szczesny and David Ospina.

DR: Calum Chambers

A highly promising young right-back, Calum Chambers should continue to get the chance to impress here with Mathieu Debuchy out injured.

DL: Kieran Gibbs

Returning to the starting lineup after an injury to Nacho Monreal, Kieran Gibbs should take his place at left-back against Stoke this weekend.

Arsenal transfers

DC: Laurent Koscielny

A player whose return from injury has been a massive boost, Laurent Koscielny should start at centre-back for the Gunners in this game.

DC: Per Mertesacker

Despite not quite being at his best this season, Per Mertesacker is undisputed first choice alongside Koscielny at the back and is in line for a start here.

MC: Mathieu Flamini

With so many injuries in midfield at the moment, Mathieu Flamini has to start again for this match, filling in for Mikel Arteta in that deep-lying role.

MC: Aaron Ramsey

Another player not necessarily worth a starting spot at the moment after some poor form, Aaron Ramsey also has to start in this game with Jack Wilshere out injured.

AMR: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

In and out of the starting lineup this season, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has looked like getting back to top form and may have earned a start for this game at Stoke.

AML: Alexis Sanchez

Arsenal’s best player this season, Alexis Sanchez has filled a number of different attacking roles so far but often looks most dangerous on the left hand side.

AMC: Santi Cazorla

A player looking slowly like getting back to his best, Santi Cazorla should take up the number ten role for Arsenal’s game this weekend, with Mesut Ozil still out injured.

FC: Olivier Giroud

With Danny Welbeck unconvincing against Southampton, it may make sense for the Gunners to rest him as the hectic winter schedule begins, with Olivier Giroud also looking to get back to full sharpness.
