Gunners set to field rookie

Arsenal fans could get another glimpse into the club’s future should rookie goalkeeper Vito Mannone be handed an unexpected debut against Stoke in the final Barclays Premier League game of the season on Sunday.

Regular number one Manuel Almunia has been sidelined for a couple of weeks with an ankle injury, and Poland international Lukasz Fabianski is now rated as only 50/50 to face the Potters because of a knee problem.
