Stoke will bid to extend their unbeaten run to 12 matches in all competitions when they face Arsenal. They will have both Abdoulaye Faye and Andy Wilkinson back from suspensions for a clash with a club Stoke have beaten on their last two visits to the Potteries, the most recent being the 3-1 FA Cup fourth-round victory for Tony Pulis' men last month. Stoke are waiting on fitness checks for Matthew Etherington (knee) and Danny Higginbotham (back) before naming their side. | |||||

Eduardo could return to the Arsenal squad for the Barclays Premier League match at Stoke. The Croatia international is back in training after recovering from a hamstring problem and Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will assess the striker's fitness today. William Gallas (calf), Abou Diaby (knee) and Andrey Arshavin (hamstring) are all still out injured, while Wenger will have to decide whether Sol Campbell or Mikael Silvestre partners Thomas Vermaelen in central defence. | |||||
