Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has played down his rift with Stoke City counterpart Tony Pulis.
The pair have traded barbs over the seasons.
"What is important for us against Stoke is for us to have the ball, because the more we can have the ball then the less dangerous they can be in the air," he said.
"We will try to dominate and master the game, because as long as we have the ball, they cannot be dangerous."
