The Potters are vying to win a third straight league game in this fixture for the first time since 1951.

​Arsenal

Defeat at Southampton on New Year's Day ended their four-match unbeaten Premier League run (W3, D1).

Arsenal have lost just one of their last 27 Premier League games at the Emirates (W18, D8) since the opening day of the 2013-14 season.

The Gunners have scored in every home league match so far, a feat only matched by Chelsea and Manchester United.

Thirty three points after 20 games is Arsenal's lowest points tally in the league since 1994-95, when they finished 12th.

Mesut Ozil's set-pieces were the source of all three Arsenal goals in their 3-1 win over Stoke at the Emirates last season. It was his home debut for the Gunners.
