Arsenal must win at Stoke today. We simply must.

I deliberately waited until after Chelsea’s game against Man City before writing any sort of match preview. Our game at Stoke was a big game before City’s 4-2 victory – it’s even bigger now.
We’re not in the best of form, having lost three of our last five games. Stoke’s a ground where we struggle, with defeats on our last two visits. On each of those games we’ve fallen victims not just to Rory Delap’s long throw, but the entirety of Stoke’s direct and hard-working approach. Today every single player in an Arsenal shirt will have to show the fight to match their flair; the graft to match their class.
I’d imagine the team will be something like:
Almunia – Sagna, Campbell, Vermaelen, Clichy – Fabregas, Song, Ramsey – Walcott, Bendtner, Nasri
XI men with a massive responsibility: the chance to put us right back in to the title mix.
