Arsenal vs Stoke is one of a number of big English Premier League matches on Sunday, and if the Gunners can win this game at home they would leapfrog both Chelsea and Liverpool to the summit of the EPL table.

Today's game will kick off at 1.30 p.m. BST (8.30 a.m. ET) and can be watched online through free live stream via the link provided below.

In good news for the Gunners, midfielder Mikel Arteta could play for the first time this season after recovering from a thigh injury. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said ahead of the game: "He is one of our leaders and we are happy to have him back."

However, Santi Cazorla, Yaya Sanogo, Abou Diaby, Tomas Rosicky, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Lukas Podolski all remain out.

Mesut Ozil will no doubt be given a heroes welcome as he makes his home debut in front of tens of thousands of adoring Arsenal fans. Wenger did not make many signings and many were grumbling when they lost their opening day game against Aston Villa, but what a difference Ozil's capture has made, and the Arsenal faithful are once again singing Wenger's name.

Stoke have lost all five previous visits to Arsenal in the Premier League, and they will be up against it again today. The last time Stoke won away at Arsenal was in August 1981, which was a 1-0 victory in the old Division One at Highbury.

In 14 meetings between Arsene Wenger and Stoke boss Mark Hughes, the Frenchman has eight wins compared to Hughes' four.
