Manager Arsène Wenger says that he will send out a team today better equipped to deal with opponents Stoke City.

The Gunners lost 2-1 to Stoke earlier in the season and it was down to their inability to deal with their opponents long throws and physical strength.

Whilst the Frenchman did mention similar things before that match, he is adamant that his young team will are better prepared now.

Wenger insisted: "We lost the game at Stoke because we did not deal well with their strong points.

"I believe on one or two occasions I saw tackles that were not quite clear but, on the day, they were well organised, defended very well and took advantage of their strengths – throw-ins their set-pieces.

"But we are ready now. What people don't realise is how much this team has improved. Since November we have lost one game in the League. Even this one game for me was more down to the disappointment of the Champions League exit than to the real quality. We could have won it because we had plenty of chances.

"In the Stoke game, we now have a good opportunity to show how much we have improved."
