In fact, since Stoke's promotion to the Premier League in 2008, only Chelsea and Manchester United have won more points at home against Arsenal.

Mark Hughes' side were 3-0 up at half-time in this fixture last season, before holding off an Arsenal fight-back to register their fourth Premier League win over the Gunners. They've taken 14 points from their seven fixtures at the Britannia Stadium.
