2012-12-01 - Arsenal vs Swansea City

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

Arsenal welcome Swansea to the Emirates stadium and these two sides are just lying 7th and 8th place in the standings with just one point separating each side.

Arsene Wenger will be keen to return to winning ways after seeing his side drawing their last two games against Aston Villa and Everton.

Arsenal are just five points off the top four teams and Wenger will be eager to close the gap at the top. The Gunners have won just three of their last nine Premier League home games while Swansea have won just two of their last 10 Premier League away games coming into this match.

Last season when they clashed it was even as Arsenal managed a 1-0 win at the Emirates while Swansea managed a 3-2 win at the Liberty Stadium. The visitors are in fine form at the moment having lost just one of their last nine games and they will be on a high after beating West Bromwich Albion in midweek.

For the record, this is Arsenal's worst start to a Premier League season under Arsene Wenger (21 points after 14 matches). Only in the 1994-95 season (19 points) have they had fewer points in the Premier League campaign at this stage of the season.

Team News :

Arsenal Team News :
Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna is rated doubtful ahead of this match due to a foot injury. Forwards Theo Walcott (ankle) and Lukas Podolski (virus) will also be checked ahead of this match. Podolski missed the 1-1 draw with Everton on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, defender Laurent Koscielny (thigh) is out for a long spell while defender Andre Santos (stomach muscle) and midfielder Abou Diaby (thigh) continue to miss out as well.

Swansea Team News :
Pablo Hernandez is set to miss after picking up a thigh injury in their last match. The in-form winger suffered the injury in the midweek win over West Brom and will miss this match with Jonathan de Guzman set to come in for him.

Chico Flores should start despite a shoulder problem while striker Danny Graham will not be risked after just returning from an illness.

Predictions :

Go for Arsenal and give the 1 1/4 ball away.
