3 Key Battles (Arsenal Vs. Stoke City): David Vs Goliath To Battle In Wings

2.Aaron Ramsey and Glenn Whelan

Aaron Ramsey

Though the Welshman often leaves his midfield partner without much support during the defensive phases, he continues to make overlapping runs that cause havoc in the defensive setup of the opponents and that should be of major concern to Mark Hughes, who aims at avoiding only his third home defeat to Arsene Wenger.

Glenn Whelan, 32, has been solid this season, averaging match-ratings of seven in the Premier League and his side boasting the fourth best top-flight defense is partly down to his shield in front of their back four. With Mesut Ozil already causing him all sorts of trouble, Aaron Ramsey will likely make it a long night for the Irish defensive midfielder.
