Jones insists Stoke will not take Arsenal lightly

Stoke City striker Kenwyne Jones is up for a big performance today against Arsenal.

Giant Trinidad and Tobago striker Jones, in a rich vein of form with four goals in five games, has told his team mates that's the best way to get ready for the game of their lives.

The £8million club record signing from Sunderland insisted: "The big thing is that you cannot protect yourself from getting injured so there's no point to try.

"Some players try not to push too hard and then get hurt anyway. Others think they'll train normally and play and then it can still happen to them too.

"What I'm going to do is train hard like I would normally, relax when I get time off, and then whatever happens, it happens. That's what's best for everybody because as a footballer you just roll on instinct and that's the best way to stay."
