With the 2013-2014 Premier League season starting to heat up, each team in the field has its sights set on finishing near the top with the hopes that they're able to do enough to bring home a title. Defending BPL champion Manchester United has obvious talent up and down the roster but thanks to a solid start this season, its the 2012-2013 fourth place finisher currently catching the attention of the Premier League fans, creating the potential for a great stretch run in one of the most competitive leagues in professional soccer.
Head coach Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal Gunners are playing well in the early part of the Premier League season thanks to tremendous balance on both sides of the ball. Earning 3 wins in 4 Premier League contests, the Gunners sit one point shy of the top spot, currently held by Liverpool. Though they're playing well - largely due to the offensive outputs of Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey - another crucial match is on the way. Set to take on Stoke City - who currently sit 7th in the jammed BPL standings with 7 points - Arsenal will need to be on point if they want to remain in one of the top 2 spots. A win could even propel the Gunners into the coveted No. 1 position depending on what happens in Liverpool's match against Southampton.
In 2 Premier League matches against The Potters last season, Arsenal earned a draw (0-0) and a victory (1-0). If they're able to remain consistent heading into the upcoming contest with Stoke City this time around, expect the Gunners to be well positioned and highly motivated as the BPL season moves along.
