Stoke City, unbeaten this year, entertain Arsenal for the second time within a month at the Britannia Stadium looking for back to back victories over Arsene Wenger’s side. The two sides met in the FA Cup 4th Round at the end of January in a match that Stoke won comfortably by 3-1 thus proving to Tony Pulis and his team that they have the type of game that can upset footballing teams like the Gunners.
PaddyPower Bookmakers however believe that Pulis’s confidence in being able to repeat the dose is misplaced and give his side only a 4/1 chance of winning while they list Arsenal as 8/11 odds on certainties. The draw is a pretty feeble 5/2 option.
Stoke in fact continued their march in the FA Cup by knocking out big spending Manchester City in midweek by 3-1 after extra time. That win brought their tally to 11 unbeaten games in 2010; form which underlines that they will be a difficult team to beat, particularly on home soil.

After witnessing defeats of Chelsea and Manchester United by Everton over the last couple of weeks, Wenger firmly believes that his Arsenal team is back within sight of the Premier League title once again, but by the same token he will know that anything other than a win here will end his hopes abruptly. Arsenal are currently six points adrift of Chelsea with 27 games played and are five points adrift of United but do have a game in hand over them. They are currently a 13/2 chance with paddy power to win the Premier League this season.
This is clearly a ‘must win’ game for Arsenal and we think that they can do it, but they will have to expect a tough physical encounter where often they will come off second best. It could be one of those games that produces plenty of goals and we would back an Arsenal victory of somewhere in the region of 3-2, which carries very tempting odds of 20/1.
