Arsenal take on Swansea in the FA Cup third round replay at the Emirates Stadium. A trip to Brighton in the last 32 awaits for the winners.

Wayne Routledge caught offside this time. Bar that speculative Graham effort early on, Swansea have offered nothing going forward.

Fans getting a little restless with Giroud who has been wasteful in the opening 15 minutes.

Swansea are loose in possession in their own half but an equally loose pass from Giroud intended for Walcott in the box.

Remember the Welsh club have won two and drawn one of their last three games against Arsenal – winning 2-0 and 3-2 in the Premier League before drawing the original tie 2-2.

Cazorla and Walcott look to combine on the edge of the penalty area but the move breaks down. Swansea sitting deep and looking to hit the hosts on the counter.

A few empty seats at the Emirates. Those seats are not the cheapest.

To update you, Ashley Williams is missing as his wife is about to give birth. Bartley replaces the captain in the heart of the Swans defence and he came through the ranks at Arsenal.

Giroud again with space in the penalty area but he fails to test the keeper from 12 yards.

Walcott’s cross from the right is met by Giroud but the striker is unable to steer his header on target.

Nathan Dyer in acres of space behind the home defence but that is because he is offside.

The ball falls to Giroud in the penalty area but his back heel intended for Cazorla is cut out.

It is Diaby partnering Coquelin in the engine room with Wilshere slightly advanced of that pair and Cazorla on the flank.

Graham has an early sight of goal but his long-range effort is way off target.

Loose pass out of defence from Kyle Bartley is seized upon by Walcott but Ashley Richards makes a crucial interception to deny Wilshere in the penalty area.

And the match begins.

Here come the teams....

Tonight’s referee on a bitterly cold night in North London is Mark Clattenburg.

Stay tuned to the end tonight, five of the six goals scored between Arsenal and Swansea this season have came in the final 10 minutes of matches.

Arsenal have not failed to make the Fourth Round of the FA Cup since 1996. Sheffield United eliminated the Gunners with a 1-0 replay win at Bramall Lane.

"I like London, we have only lost to Tottenham there. We have done really well there and it's also more than two months where we have only lost two games, and apart from those two the last defeat was to Manchester City, the Premier League champions, away. This gives us a lot of confidence which is important because when you make changes and people come in, they fit in and feel that confidence,” added the Dane.

Having triumphed 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium earlier this season, Laudrup is confident. "In 11 away games we have only conceded nine goals which is quite good for a manager who always played up front," he said.
