Arsenal are trying to turn their flagging season around, and a win over Swansea City on Saturday would help them out significantly in that area, and potentially even put the Gunners back into the top four in the English Premier League.
Arsneal have won their last three matches in all competitions, and seven of their last eight. They’re still suffering somewhat from their miserable start, but Arsene Wenger’s side has managed to slowly claw their way back up to fifth place in the EPL table. Their wins haven’t often been pretty, but they still count all the same in the standings. Now a win against a Swansea team that’s won just twice in their last eight matches can push Arsenal into the top four, provided a few other results go their way as well.
Swansea City are good shape injury-wise at least, missing just Martin Olsson and Kyle Bartley. Arsenal, on the other hand, have a long list of absences, headed by Shkodran Mustafi and Calum Chambers missing from their back line, and with their woes worsened by Santi Cazorla, Danny Welbeck, and David Ospina all out injured as well.
