Arsenal will continue where they left off beating Newcastle, when the team confront Stoke City on September 12th, 2015 at the Emirates. Arsenal has not won at home this season, this may be the first game to be won at home, after loosing to West Ham United on the opening day and drew with Liverpool.

Arsène Wenger has revealed the latest team news ahead of Saturday's game against Stoke City:on Danny Welbeck...Yes, we got very bad news because in my mind he was almost ready to play again. He was very close but he could not tolerate the final step up in his rehab. We always wanted to try conservative rehab first under the guidance of specialists and he did get very close. We had to consult and in the end they decided to go in and see what's wrong. He will be out certainly until Christmas.on Tomas Rosicky...It's similar [to Welbeck], it's a similar surgery.on Jack Wilshere...He is progressing slowly. Unfortunately he will not be available for Saturday.i Per Mertesacker...Per was out for 18 days but he's back now in training.on Laurent Koscielny...Laurent is alright, he had a normal training session yesterday.on the international break…All the players who have been away on international duty have come back in good shape. We should have the same squad available.Read more at http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20150910/team-news-per-welbeck-and-wilshere#YIpCUM7kc0zLECRc.99

TEAM NEWS

Laurent Koscielny is fit despite missing France's friendly with Serbia as a precaution, having recently returned from a back injury.
Stoke pair Ibrahim Afellay and Charlie Adam both begin suspensions.
Glen Johnson, Mame Diouf and Marko Arnautovic are doubts with respective groin, hamstring and ankle injuries.
Jon Walters returns after missing the defeat by West Brom following uncertainty over his future, but Peter Odemwingie is out because of a lack of match fitness.
MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES

Jonathan Pearce: "It was 29 August 1981 when Stoke last won at Arsenal.
"It was a month after Prince Charles married Princess Diana. Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett had broken the world mile record three times in 10 days and Aneka's Japanese Boy knocked Shakin' Stevens' Green Door off number one in the charts.
"With Charlie Adam and Ibrahim Afellay banned and Mame Diouf possibly injured, their hopes of causing Arsenal the sort of headaches they do at the Britannia Stadium don't look bright.
"But Arsenal have found scoring at home problematic. Couple that with Stoke's durable away record of four draws in five and it could be a frustrating day for home fans."

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "[Stoke] have been here a long time in the Premier League and they have improved their technical quality.
"They have always had good teams and overall when we go to Stoke they are always specially motivated against us. There is a little bit of history because of what happened and overall it was always very difficult for us.
"For me there was never bad blood, it was just a game that was always very difficult for us."
Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "We feel we are better equipped to deal with Arsenal on the road now. We have players who can cause them problems.
"They have struggled at home, surprisingly, and maybe on the back of a break, going there this weekend could be a good time to go.
"Maybe teams used to fear going to the big clubs but that isn't the case any more. They travel with the intention of causing problems."
MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head
Stoke have lost on each of their last 13 league and cup trips to Arsenal, including seven Premier League matches.
The last five encounters between the sides have been won by the home team (three wins for Arsenal, two for Stoke).
Arsenal
The Gunners have failed to score in five of their last six home league games, recording one win, three draws and two defeats.
If they are unable to net against Stoke it will be the first time in the club's history they have failed to score in their opening three top-flight home games.
The last time they failed to win any of their opening three home league games was in 1959. They finished 13th that season.
They average a league-high 65% ball possession this season.
However, their shot conversion ratio is 5.6% - only Liverpool, with 5.4%, have a lower figure.
Stoke City
The Potters have drawn four of their last five Premier League away games, including the last three.
Stoke have collected just four points from 21 available in their last seven Premier League away games (D4, L3).
The 1-0 loss to West Brom means the Potters are in danger of failing to score in back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since January 2014, when they suffered 1-0 defeats to Crystal Palace and then Sunderland.
