Arsenal vs Stoke City live stream: Watch Premier League online
By Josh Sippie
Arsenal take on a familiar foe in Stoke City and with players returning to the fray, you’ll want to know where to watch. Here is all the information you need.
Any time Arsenal faces Stoke City, it promises to be one hell of a match. These are two clubs that just don’t seem to like each other. And while that has simmered down in recent years, as long as the Potters employ Ryan Shawcross, I will still boo my heart out every time he touches the ball.

And naturally, those wonderful Potter supporters will boo Aaron Ramsey every time he touches the ball. What nerve he had, breaking his leg. Truly insulting.
Anyway, enough of the petty squabbles, because there is a lot going on. For starters, Stoke have a new boy to debut against us and all signs are pointing to the fact that he will at feature in some capacity.

That new boy is of course Jese Rodriguez, the Real Madrid reject (literally, reject) who has also spent a good deal of time writhing on the ground after meeting with Sead Kolasinac in open play. So there’s that to look forward too and yes, I’m looking for a repeat.
Arsenal, meanwhile, will hopefully be employing a much sounder defense this time around, as they will have both Shkodran Mustafi and Per Mertesacker available to be chosen for deployment and if they don’t utilize at least one of them, I will cry myself through the match until we have a three goal lead, because only then will the Gunners be safe.
At the other side of things, Alexandre Lacazette will be hoping to follow up a debut goal with, well, another goal. Or two. He is looking to be such a valuable contributor to the attack that it’s hard to imagine that not going just as well, although to be fair, Stoke’s defense is far superior to Leicester City’s.
A good deal of the pressure, therefore, will fall on Mesut Ozil to break down the defense, and on Granit Xhaka behind him. Both will have key roles to play as their passing will be the crucial piece to stretching and straining their defensive lines.
And so, with all of that in mind, here are all of the match facts, including where to watch.
