Pulis feels the Potters are unfairly tagged as being a physical side, with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger going as far as to accuse them of using 'rugby' tactics earlier in the season.
The build-up to the match has been dominated by the debate over Ryan Shawcross who will be making his first appearance in North London since the tackle which broke Aaron Ramsey's leg at the Britannia Staduim in February.
But Pulis has highlighted the fact that Arsenal actually have a worse disciplinary record than his men as he seeks to see one of the stereotypes about his side changed.
"People have perceptions and you struggle to change those sometimes," he said.
"We go into a game here where Arsenal have more red and yellow cards and have committed more fouls, yet you speak to the layman and it's 'Bad old Stoke going to the Emirates'. But the facts don't back up that story."
Pulis also suggested that Wenger is a man under pressure, with the Gunners having failed to secure any silverware since their FA Cup triumph against Manchester United in 2005.
"If they don't win anything this season he will be devastated," said Pulis. "I think Arsene Wenger is under quite a bit of pressure because there hasn't been a trophy won for five years or so. There's enormous pressure on him."
Wenger, who has said that only Ramsey can forgive Shawcross for his tackle in February's encounter, agreed that statistically his side have been worse offenders on the disciplinary front than Stoke, although he does not agree with how cards have been handed out to his players.
"He's right. We've got more yellow cards," said the Frenchman. "It's surprising about our yellow cards. Like the other night (against Manchester United) we picked up yellow cards but I thought it was a fair game."
