Arsenal are up against Swansea today as we look to catch up with the teams ahead of us. Swansea have a very good home record this season and they have conceded just four goals at their home ground.
And with Arsenal missing our pass master Mkel Arteta from the midfield, it is crucial that we take our chances today. This looks like a tight and a low scoring affair, and we should look to be disciplined from set pieces.
Our goalscoring hero from the midweek game, Thierry Henry is on the bench and I hope to see him again, though I'd like him to consolidating score a goal rather than a winning goal(not that I would mind him scoring the winner a la Leeds).
Team Line Ups:
Swansea(4-5-1): Michael Vorm, Neil Taylor, Ashley Williams, Steven Caulker, Angel Rangel, Scott Sinclair, Joe Allen, Leon Britton, Kenny Agustein, Nathan Dyer, Danny Graham.
Substitutes: Gerhard Tremmel, Ashley Richards, Gilfy Sigurdsson, Gary Monk, Wayne Routledge, Luke Moore, Leroy Lita.
Manager: Brendan Rodgers.
Arsenal(4-3-3): Wojciech Szczesny, Ignasi Miquel Laurent Koscielny, Per Mertesacker, Johan Djourou, Yossi Benayoun, Alex Song, Aaron Ramsey, Andrey Arshavin, Robin van Persie, Theo Walcott.
Substitutes: Manuel Almunia, Sebastian Squillaci, Nico Yennaris, Tomas Rosicky, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ju Young Park, Thierry Henry.
Manager: Arsene Wenger.
