Welcome back football fans to another live round of Premier League action with your resident Bleacher Report commentator, Karl Matchett.

Up today we have a fascinating clash between Stoke City and Arsenal—one team whose season is all but over and another who still has plenty to play for.

This fixture is usually billed as a clash of styles by those who give Stoke less credit than they sometimes deserve. Rest assured, though, that Arsenal will settle for three points whether by fancy, flowing football or a rough-and-tumble goalmouth scramble in this match as they chase a Champions League spot.

Stick right here with me for all the best pre-match build-up, in-game action and post-match reaction as we edge toward the culmination of the 2011-12 Premier League.
