Comments:

League position: 5th Arsenal have now won their last 13 home games against Stoke City, including ten in league fixtures. The only goal of the game in Stoke City's last win at Arsenal in August 1981 was scored by Lee Chapman who later joined the Gunners. The Premier League’s Goal Accreditation Panel ruled on the following: - Arsenal’s third goal against Stoke City on Sunday 11th January 2015 has been confirmed as an Alexis Sanchez goal. (Circular 16 – 15th January 2015)

Comments:

League position: 11th Peter Crouch was the only player in today's 18-man squad who was born when Stoke City last won at Arsenal in 1981, and he was only seven month old. City boss Mark Hughes has now lost on all eight of his Premier League visits to the Emirates Stadium as a manager.
