Arsenal vs. Stoke City: Date, Time, Live Stream, TV Info and Preview
Arsenal will look to extend their six-match winning streak when they face a Stoke City squad that has performed quite well in league play this season.
After a terrible opening match against Aston Villa, Arsenal have turned things around on both ends of the pitch and now appear to be legitimate contenders in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Stoke City are looking to be more than just a mid-level club this season with two victories in four matches this year, plus a draw against Manchester City. Even on the road, it is clear that they will not roll over for anyone.
This match is far from a guarantee for Arsenal, and they will need to play their best in order to try moving to the top of the table.

Top Storyline: Can Arsenal Continue Its Current Form?
A few weeks ago, even the biggest fans of the Gunners had concerns about how the club would perform this season. Injuries left the squad weak in the midfield, and the product on the pitch was not much to watch.
However, Mesut Ozil brought with him hope, and a number of players have been stepping up recently to make sure the squad is playing as well as ever.
Few players have been more impressive lately than Aaron Ramsey, who has scored seven times for Arsenal in nine matches, including Champions League play. Incredibly, this is the same person who only had a single EPL goal last year in 36 appearances.
Ramsey—as well as the rest of the attack—will have to continue to play this well in order to prove it is not a fluke. However, things look pretty good at this point for Arsenal.
Prediction: Arsenal 2, Stoke City 0
Stoke City have had trouble scoring against quality opponents, and that will continue in this road match. The squad will not have many opportunities near the net, and it will require a lot of skill to finish off chances in this match.
On the other side, Arsenal should continue moving the ball well to create opportunities for the players up front. As long as Ramsey and Olivier Giroud are able to finish around the net, they should be able to get a couple of goals in this match.
Arsenal will come away with three points to remain near the top of the league table.
