Alexandre Lacazette and Henrikh Mkhitaryan On Bench – Arsenal Team vs Stoke City Confirmed
Jamie Redknapp thinks the amount of empty seats at the Emirates Stadium during Arsenal's 3-0 victory over Stoke on Sunday was to blame for the Gunners poor first-half display.
Poor first half from ArsenalArsenal played one of their season's worst footballing half during the first 45 minutes.
Aubameyang would add a lovely second before the substitute Alexandre Lacazette's penalty gave the scoreline a gloss that had not looked likely at half-time when Arsenal were booed off. "I know we've got the benefit of the replay and Craig doesn't but I just think big moments you have to be so precise that it is a penalty". "We lacked urgency, pace and drive", Wenger told a news conference. It was only after him coming on in the second half when Arsenal actually started playing some decent football.
Mesut Ozil has added insult to injury after Arsenal beat Stoke City 3-0 by publishing a tongue-in-cheek tweet teasing the local police's Twitter account, after they had mocked the German midfielder earlier this season. While they were in control of the game for large portions and never looked all that frazzled, they certainly weren't three goals better than their visitors. January signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted twice, with Alexandre Lacazette completing the scoring from the spot. I know how hard he's worked. "I like that [gesture], it can only make the team stronger".
It is the third Premier League home game in a row where thousands of Gunners fans have stayed away, with the team no longer fighting for a top-four place. In the 41st minute, they managed to work the ball back to the goalkeeper, David Ospina, from deep inside the Stoke half, which led to predictable frustration.
England take firm control
The umpires want to try and get the extra eight overs in at the end of the day, rather than start early because of morning dew. With lost time being made up, there is a potential 98 overs to be bowled on the final day of England's marathon tour.

"It's explainable by the fact it's Easter".
Lacazette scored a late penalty to mark his return from injury with a goal.
Arsenal took their run of successive home wins over Stoke to 16 matches in all competitions with this triumph, a streak going back 37 years.
Arsenal were awarded a second penalty with one minute left and Lacazette stepped up to leave Arsene Wenger's side in confident mood ahead of Thursday's Europa League quarter-final with CSKA Moscow. "Now we can move on and build for the next games, let's keep fighting".
