Swansea - Arsenal 3.47 - 2.30
To say something critical about the Swansea display last week against WBA I suggest they were surprisingly careless passing the ball around. Not at all as precise as they usually are. They were not miles from getting something from the game, as Lamah scored a prefect, very late goal. Still one should not forget than Lukaku missed a penalty for WBA.
Swansea count on L Britton and L Moore to be fit for this game, but Chico remains sidelined.
This will be the fourth meeting between these sides this season. Swansea won in the league at Emirates, then they played out a 2-2 draw in Wales in the cup and Arsenal won the replay 1-0 thanks to a very late goal. So, do not tell me Swansea cannot defeat Arsenal.
Szczesny and Vermaelen could be recalled tomorrow, but the Arsenal coach has not made the final decision. K Gibbs will be rested, but his defensive colleague Monreal will be available again. No Podolski or J Wilshere.
We saw in midweek what an Arsenal side, not under the usual pressure can do, when they defeated Bayern 2-0. For me it was a special game for Arsenal and that is why I expected them to play a particularly strong game. Now it is the old routine again, they must not drop points to remain in the top four race and so on. This kind of pressure Arsenal have not been able to handle this season and I prefer the home win alternative.
