Comments:

League position: 6th Arsenal had now won consecutive games in the Premier League for the first time since 29 November 2017. The Gunners made seven changes to their starting XI from their previous game in the Premier League; the most they had made in the competition since 1 January 2011 versus Birmingham City (eight). Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had now scored 25 or more goals in senior competitions for the fourth consecutive season in his club career.

Comments:

League position: 19th This was Stoke City's 17th defeat so far in this Premier League season (played 32); in only one other season in the competition had they lost more games (18 in 2010-11). The Potters were now without a win in their last eight games in the Premier League since beating Huddersfield Town in manager Paul Lambert's first game in charge on 20 January 2018 (lost four). City had now scored one goal in their last four games in the Premier League.
