WELCOME Good afternoon everybody and welcome to live coverage of Arsenal's trip to Stoke. Team news is imminent.

And that's full-time!

Stoke have beaten Arsenal by a Jese goal for nil.

Thank you so much for joining us for this game and stay tuned to Eurosport for full reaction.

Chuopo-Moting wins the ball down the pitch but goes for a rash shot. Not sure Hughes will be too pleased with that...

Oh Diouf that's a risky thing to do. He lunges in at Bellerin in the box, or possibly slips, and gets none of the ball. No penalty.

Shawcross misses a cross from Monreal and Giroud heads the ball wide.

Sobhi does well to win the ball off Oxlade-Chamberlain but then gives it away immediately. The ball goes to Giroud and the back post but there is no-one there to pounce on his flick-on and Butland smothers it. The Frenchman rightly looks exasperated by his team-mates.

There's going to be five minutes of time added on.

Unfortunately Pieters can't continue and he's replaced for the final few minutes by Martins Indi.

And as I say that Pieters trots back on.

Lots of possession for Arsenal outside the box but that's all it is until Zouma clears Mustafi's cross in and then Butland is fouled by Giroud.

Pieters is limping on the side and it's unclear whether or not he's going to be coming back on.

Stoke can't afford to be down to ten for too long...

Andre Marriner has not had a particularly good couple of minutes. First he fails to blow for a foul on Oxlade-Chamberlain by Sobhi. Pieters then nicks the ball and is cleaned out by Mustafi and he waves play on.

Replays show both situations were fouls. Mustafi gets a bit of the ball but that was reckless.

Really poor from Walcott. His touch is poor and he's bullied off the ball by Pieters, who wins a free-kick.

Right around ten minutes left for Arsenal to get back into this plus stoppage time.

Ah no Iwobi has dropped in next to Ramsey. Must be frustrating for Oxlade-Chamberlain that he is still at right-back. Giroud is penalised for a foul near the Stoke box.

Right couple more changes as Lacazette and Xhaka are replaced by Walcott and Iwobi. I'll report back in a couple of minutes but given how advanced Ramsey is that may leave Arsenal without a central midfield...

Oxlade-Chamberlain comes charging forward when Allen gives the ball away. He doesn't see any options to smashes a shot off a defender and over the bar. Mustafi's header from the corner goes over.

I tell you what he has his critics but Ozil is doing everything in his powers to unlock this defence. At times you think he just gets let down by his team-mates.

As I write that he's just played a peculiar ball to no-one in particular.

It goes deep and Giroud picks it up. Lacazette gets it but is dealt well with by Zouma.

Corner for Arsenal as they break when Stoke fail to get Sobhi away. Pieters is down following a clash with Ramsey but he's alright to continue.

Clever foul by Berahino to stop Ramsey, good pressing from the Stoke man.

Welbeck fires it into Giroud's feet and another clever flick finds Lacazette. He fires it into the roof of the net but the flag is up.

That is really, really tight. I'm not 100% either way.

The stadium rises to its feet to applaud Jese as he comes off, clearly looking very tired, as talented youngster Sobhi comes on.
