Tony Pulis is not losing any sleep over the rivalry between his Stoke City side and Arsenal because he doubts he can do anything to affect the animosity.

Stoke on Sunday hosted the Gunners at the Britannia Stadium in the Premier League in an edgy goalless draw, with home fans jeering Arsenal players and manager Arsene Wenger.

The animosity dates back to February 2010 when Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey's leg was broken by Stoke's Ryan Shawcross, and the mood was evident at the weekend.
