Peter Crouch
Peter Crouch scored within 19 seconds when Stoke hosted Arsenal’s at Britannia Stadium in December, and went on to provide a constant aerial threat as the Potters ran out 3-2 winners. The 6ft 7in striker has three other goals as well as two assists this season and will need to be carefully marshalled by the Gunners’ defence.
