"Olivier Giroud's excellent winning goal against Leicester was his 99th in an Arsenal shirt and I think the Gunners will have too much in the attacking third for Mark Hughes's side who posed little as an attacking threat at Goodison Park on Saturday".
After an underwhelming start to last season, Rodriguez spent the second half on loan at Spain's Las Palmas. We feel he's at a club where he can express himself and will give him a platform where he can really enjoy himself.
Hughes could well hand the Spaniard his Premier League debut when Arsenal head to the Bet365 Stadium for the clash.
Mark Hughes is confident Stoke will offer on-loan Paris St Germain frontman Jese Rodriguez the ideal platform to show why he is one of Europe's elite players. "When you do you should enjoy it".
'It's easy to say that when you're not in possession of the facts, which players never are'.
It would be good to hear the Stoke fans booing once Arsenal go into a quick 1-0 lead and the fans get on the managers back, but obviously the Arsenal fans wouldn't do that, would they?
"But we've replaced them with starters".
Arsenal are looking to drastically improve their Premier League form this season after their disappointing fifth-placed finish in the top flight last term.
Hughes also confirmed that forward Julien NGoy has been ruled out for up to six weeks with a thigh injury.
