Prediction
This could be a tight contest as Arsenal are in flying form, with the exception of their 3-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, but the Liberty Stadium is always a challenging place to travel to.
With the recent injuries sustained at the Emirates and the disappointing result in mid week, a result for the Swans certainly would not shock the footballing world. particularly with the form that Andre Ayew has been displaying so far this season.
Olivier Giroud will return up front in the premier league for the gunners and he will be looking take his opportunity now that Theo Walcott’s run in the team has come to an end through injury.
