Confirmed Arsenal team to take on Stoke – Captain Jack!

Arsenal have named their starting line-up to take on Stoke City today, with a number of first-teamers left out.

Petr Cech has missed out due to a slight groin injury, while the likes of Koscielny, Granit Xhaka and Henrikh Mkhitaryan look to have been rested ahead of Thursday’s Europa League tie.

Wilshere is taking the armband due to the admissions of Cech and Kosc.

Will this team have more than enough to roll over our opponents? Are Stoke the ideal rivals to play before the EL?
