Powerhouse club Arsenal FC (9-1-4, 31 points) will look to extend its unbeaten streak to 14 games as the team clashes with middling squad Stoke City FC (5-5-4, 19 points) at the Emirates Stadium on Dec. 10, Saturday in a 2016-2017 Premier League season match.

Start Time and Streaming Info

The game starts at 10:00 a.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.

Arsenal has not lost a match since its opening day defeat to Liverpool back in August. They have piled up the draws in the past several rounds, though, as they had three draws and three wins in their last six outings.

The Gunners are currently in the second place in the overall standings, only three points below current league leaders Chelsea and a point above third and fourth-place squads Liverpool and Manchester City.

Arsenal is coming off a highly-impressive 5-1 demolition of West Ham United last Saturday on the road at the London Stadium, as per The Sun.

Chilean forward Alexis Sanchez was the man of the match for head coach Arsene Wenger's squad as he unleashed a hat trick late in the game.

German midfielder Mesut Özil scored the opening goal in the 24th minute as the visitors took a one-point lead at the halftime break.

Sanchez then scored in the 72nd and 80th before West Ham netted their lone goal in the 83rd. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain made it a 4-1 count in the 84th before Sanchez capped the win with a goal in the 86th.

Meanwhile, Stoke City blanked Burnley, 2-0, at the Bet365 Stadium also last Saturday for their second straight win, the Mirror reported.

Irish forward Jonathan Walters and Spanish defender Marc Muniesa scored in the 20th and 35th minutes for what would be the final tally as both sides went scoreless after that.

The Potters have been unbeaten in five of their last six matches, which helped them climb to the ninth spot of the league table.

Prediction and Predicted Lineup

The predicted result is a 3-0 rout by Arsenal.

Arsenal starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Cech; Monreal, Koscielny, Gabriel, Mustafi; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Özil; Coquelin, Walcott, Xhaka; Sanchez

Stoke City starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Grant; Pieters, Muniesa, Johnson, Martins Indi; Arnautovic, Shaqiri; Adam. Diouf, Imbula; Walters
