Arsenal stand at the 3rd position with 5 points less than leader Leicester City, but despite that fact they are still one of the main favorites to win the title in Premier League. They lost the derby match at Old Trafford 3-2 in the previous round and it was their second defeat in a row after FC Barcelona beat them at Emirates 0-2 in the first leg of the 1/8 finals in Champions League. For home side will be very hard to get back in the game against Barca, so their main focus will be on Premier League where they have decent chances to win the title. In the next round Arsenal play big city derby against Tottenham, another candidate for the title, so the victory against Swansea is very important for Arsène Wenger and his team in order to stay in a race for the title.

Swansea stand near the relegation zone and their main goal this season is to stay in the best football league in England. In the previous round they were very close to take at least one points against Spurs after they had a lead at the half-time, but Tottenham started to play better in the second half-time, hit the net twice in the last 20 minutes and got all three points. Despite that defeat, Swansea showed that they can be very dangerous for every team, especially when they play away. In the last 5 away matches in all competitions they scored at least one goal in all those matches, against Tottenham one goal, against Everton two goals, Manchester United conceded one from them. Arsenal have good defence, but they conceded 5 goals in the last 4 matches in all competitions. True, they played against much stronger teams, but visitors on this match also could be very dangerous.

Arsenal vs Swansea injuries and suspensions

Home side have no fresh injury concerns. Oxlade-Chamberlain is still out, while Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere are long-term injured. Visitors also have no fresh injuries and they will probably start with the same team that played against Spurs in the previous round.

Arsenal vs Swansea possible lineups

Arsenal: Cech; Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal; Coquelin, Ramsey; Welbeck, Ozil, Sanchez; Giroud.
Swansea: Fabianski; Rangel, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor; Cork, Fer, Ki; Sigurdsson; Ayew, Paloschi.

Arsenal vs Swansea Prediction

Home side are definitively better side, but they have to improve that on the pitch. Visitors have nothing to lose and they will playing without pressure and try to hit the net. Arsenal should win this game, but I expect goals between Arsenal vs Swansea and that’s my first betting tip and option.

Arsenal vs Swansea Betting Tip: over 2.5 goals @ 1.73 (Bet365)
