MATCHDAY PREVIEW: SWANSEA VS ARSENAL

in #sport7 years ago

Arsenal FC travel away to the Liberty Stadium to face Swansea hoping to avoid same treatment given to Liverpool.

Arsenal gave a hint that new signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan could be in the starting lineup by posting a picture of the 29-year old Armenia midfielder with the caption

"It's MATCHDAY #SCFvAFC"

But having had a comfortable 4-1 win against Crystal Palace and a deserving 2-1 comeback against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup which saw them claim a place in the final against runaway league leaders Manchester City

It is interesting to know if Arsene Wenger would really want to alter the in-form first eleven he has found in the post-sanchez era.

Swansea FC look to keep up the winning form from last week's game having defeated Liverpool 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium. They look to record consecutive premier league victories on home soil when they host the gunners today.

The host aim to continue the fine form under New boss Carlos Carvalhal who have really inspired the swans to only one defeat in seven games but if history should decide the fate of today's game, Tuesday surely will give the win to arsenal as Swansea's two premier league games on a Tuesday this season have seen them lose 5-0 against Liverpool and 2-0 against Tottenham Hotspur and having lost four of their last five premier league meetings against Arsenal including the last three in a row, today's match sees all stats go against them.
