    Sorry bit late getting this started. Arsenal need the 3pts to move within 1pt of Man Utd. A draw with Orient at the weekend, albeit with a second string team, brought the Gunners back down to Earth after their sensational win over Barca in midweek.

    Home advantage to Arsenal tonight, a couple of key players missing, no Van Persie or Koscielney, so can Arsenal prove that their replacements are good enough to sustain the Gunners title bid?

    Teams:

    Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Squillaci, Djourou, Clichy, Fabregas, Song, Wilshere, Walcott, Bendtner, Nasri. Subs: Almunia, Rosicky, Denilson, Arshavin, Eboue, Gibbs, Chamakh.

    Stoke: Begovic, Wilson, Shawcross, Huth, Pugh, Pennant, Whitehead, Delap, Whelan, Walters, Carew. Subs: Sorensen, Higginbotham, Collins, Jones, Fuller, Diao, Wilkinson.
    Referee: Peter Walton (Northamptonshire)

    It would be tragic for Cesc to miss the CC final......

    ...unless he plays in the CL final of course

    Shouldn't you be concentrating on what your own team is doing?

    The amount fans spend at grounds is ridiculous. I served a guy at a stadium I work at and he spent over £100 on alcohol. I decided to ask him how much he's travelling had cost him, he replied, more than I've spent here.
