Szczesny could retain place in Arsenal goal

Wojciech Szczesny could continue in goal for Arsenal against Stoke tomorrow if Lukasz Fabianski fails to recover from a hip problem.

The Gunners have no fresh injury concerns following Monday’s 1-0 defeat at Barclays Premier League title rivals Manchester United, but striker Nicklas Bendtner is likely to miss the match at Emirates Stadium as he awaits the birth of his child.
