Ryan Shawcross remains doubtful for Tony Pulis' Stoke City as they travel to Arsenal's Emirates Stadium.
Defender Shawcross has a groin strain and is rated 50/50 by manager Tony Pulis. If the highly rated 22 year old doesn't make it, Danny Collins will partner Abdouleye Faye at centre back.
Shawcross aside, Stoke have a virtually fully fit squad to call upon, although Dean Whitehead is suspended.
Manager Pulis is unlikely to make many other changes, preferring to keep faith with a settled side that features James Beattie and Ricardo Fuller in attack.
Arsenal, however, continued to be plagued by injuries with Robin Van Persie, Kieran Gibbs, Nicklas Bendtner, Johan Djourou and Gael Clichy joined on the sidelines by Theo Walcott and Abou Diaby.
With midfielder Alex Song suspended, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will be forced to make a number of changes to his starting eleven, with Armand Traore, Denilson and Tomas Rosicky all likely to start.
