After a 0-0 draw with Hull City in the
F.A. Cup, a 2-0 defeat by Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League and
a 3-2 defeat by Manchester United in the Premier League, Arsenal are
hardly on the crest of a wave for the visit of Swansea City on
Wednesday. However, only West Ham United and Chelsea have beaten the
Gunners at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League this season, so
Arsene Wenger must be hoping his side can rekindle their title
aspirations. They currently trail leaders Leicester City by five
points.
Dogged though they were in their latest
2-1 defeat by Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane, Swansea City lie
16th in the Premier League table just three points above
the relegation zone. Swans’ coach Alan Curtis believes that
subsequent fixtures against Norwich, Bournemouth and Aston Villa will
prove decisive and midfielder Jack Cork said, prior to last week’s
defeat, that there was ‘no pressure’ on the Welsh outfit for
their successive visits to London.
The Gunners strolled to a 3-0 victory
in the reverse fixture at the Liberty Stadium on Halloween and, while
there was no doubting the Swans’ commitment against Tottenham,
another horror story may well be on the cards. Swansea have hardly
been prolific scorers away from home this season, but found the net
at White Hart Lane, Old Trafford and the Etihad Stadium on their
travels, so let’s try a correct score of 3-1 at 13/1 with
BetVictor.
Selection: Arsenal to win 3-1
