Welsh outfit Swansea City will host English side Arsenal in a Premier League game this weekend at the Liberty Stadium.
Kick-Off: 15:00 BST
Date: Saturday, 31st October, 2015
Venue: Liberty Stadium
Referee: Kevin Friend
Possible Lineups:
Swansea City
- Swansea City manager Garry Monk has a fully fit squad to choose from ahead of the Arsenal clash.
- The home side players are fully freshed as they were not the part of midweek Capital One Cup campaign.
- Defender Jack Cork is expected to return to take the starting role.
Arsenal
- Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will be having problems in selecting the starting lineup. Theo Walcott, Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all are out and the French manager will have to bring some change.
- Mathieu Flamini is expected to play in the deeper midfield role which will push Santi Carzola in an attacking role.
- Alexis Sanchez will continue to start on the left attacking side with Olivier Giroud alone upfront.
Stats:
- The Swans are unbeaten in their last three Premier League games against Arsenal.
- Arsenal have not scored more than two goals in any of their game against Swansea City.
- Arsenal have lost only two of their last 11 away games in the Premier League.
- Bafetimbi Gomis scored the winning goals in both games against the Gunners last season.
Prediction:
Swansea 1 – 1 Arsenal, Olivier Giroud to score for the away side.
