Arsenal v Swansea City: match preview

This article is more than 6 years old

Swansea have developed the reputation as a tough nut to crack and it has not gone unnoticed at Arsenal that they have conceded only once on their Premier League travels this season. Arsène Wenger knows that patience will be a virtue but he has demanded that his players show pace and positivity in order to preserve Arsenal’s “impeccable” home record. After a few crashes away from home, he knows the margin for error is zero. David Hytner
