Last updated : 05 December 2009 By Dan Buxton

Arsenal have had a good start to the season whilst Stoke are in a more than acceptable 9th, and travel to the Emirates with only four defeats this season. Do you think the hosts have a good chance of picking up three points?

Georg WCHE: As long as your burly men arent beastly to us, yes

The Tony: Nope. Frustrating score draw

afc1: Depends on our "mental strength" ... probably a good time to play us right now...i can see us scraping a 1-0 to be honest

The Potters are well known for a physical style but what kind of style are Arsenal likely to play?

Georg WCHE: Pretty, passy, passy, pretty. Shoot? Not us there's another 89 minutes of pretty, passy, passy, pretty

The Tony: Same ol' crap. pass pass pass pass pass pass pass passs row z. pass pass pass pass pass pass straight at goalie. pass pass pass pass misplaced pass stoke score own goal Gallas.

afc1: Pass pass pass... pass... pass... get to the 18 yard line... move breaks down... repeat ad nauseum

The two sides met at the end of last season and Arsenal destroyed Stoke, strolling to a 4-1 win. Do you think that will have any bearing on Saturdays game?

Georg WCHE: As long as you dont kick us and stand at least five yards away anything is possible

The Tony: nope...we're crap at the moment

afc1: nope

With Robin Van Persie injured do you think the Gunners have the firepower to break down the Potters if we, as expected, defend in numbers?

Georg WCHE: We have as much firepower as the Swiss navy

The Tony: Nope we're crap at the moment

Are there any Stoke players you are wary of?

Georg WCHE: anybody over five foot five

The Tony: I dont know any Stoke Players...to be honest I dont even know where stoke is. All I know is that we're crap at the moment

afc1: is the fella with the long throw ins still playing?....our defence panics so I can see him causing trouble

Who should we keep an eye out for?

Georg WCHE: Osama Bin Laden, we could do with the lad's firepower to be honest. He's also tough to mark. Plus, we all know he has been a fan since he was a small boy

The Tony: Gallas......Likely to sit on the pitch and cry after the match due to our crapness

afc1: no-one at the moment as I think we have lost our bottle

...and finally, a prediction?

The Tony: 2-2 scoredraw

afc1:0-0 or we might steal a 1-0
