they've slipped off the pace in the designation race, Arsene
Wenger will be hoping a peregrination to Wales and an
encounter with one of his sides 'bogey' teams won't
accommodate up more disappointment.
Swansea have beaten Arsenal in three of their last
five Premier League meetings and incipient manager Paul
Clement will be keen to perpetuate that trend today.
The Welsh side are struggling this season though,
their record of 13 goals in their last 10 is amongst
the Premier League's worst.
Swansea have lost four of their last six games,
shipping 12 goals in the process as the ephemeral
reign of American coach Bob Bradley came to an
end.
Overall they've lost 13 of their last 20 games and
have the kind of goal difference that makes them
likely candidates for relegation.
Albeit they can take heart from the fact that
they're facing an Arsenal side who have kept just 2
clean sheets since November. In contrast, Arsenal
have prehended 11 points from a possible 15 in their
FORM GUIDE – HOME VS AWAY
Swansea's home form, while commixed, has been a
positive during a tough campaign. Wins in December
against fellow strugglers Sunderland and Crystal
Palace gave some cause for optimism. But those
games were swiftly followed by cumbersomely hefty losses at
home to West Ham and Bournemouth as the wheels
fell off Bradley's tenure over Christmas.
