Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Arsenal vs Swansea from the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners will be hoping to put their nightmare weekend behind them while Swansea are desperate for points in order to keep clear of the relegation struggle.

Corner to the near post finds Mertesacker who gets his head to it but it hits the side netting. Half the crowd thought it was in.

Beautiful football from Rosicky and Cazorla to one-two it into the box but his left footed cut back only finds Britton on the cover.

Arsenal with more of the ball but can't create anything in tha final third. Swansea defending so well so far.

Michu lays off to Britton who finds Bony again. This time Vermaelen just manages to hold him up long enough to force the Ivorian to go backwards. A long ball from Shelvey through the middle almost finds Bony but he is half a yard offside.

Bony dominating the centre backs so far. Every time the ball goes up to him he wins it. This time he goes back to Williams who attempts to go long again but the ball goes straight through to the keeper.

Arsenal try and break after a foray by De Guzman but Oxlade Chamberlain overhits a ball over the top to Giroud and it goes out for a throw.

Arsenal with the ball again but Swansea back in their shape. Ball goes to Giroud on the right touchline but Williams smashes into him and puts the ball out for a throw.

Oxlade Chamberlain storms forward but is tackled by Shelvey in the middle. Swans now with the ball again with Taylor at left back.

What a goal! Swansea pass the ball for about two minutes there. Taylor finds loads of space on the left wing and crosses to Bony who gets up brilliantly over Vermaelen and powers a header into the corner. Wonderful header and great team move.

Swansea finally with some possession. They have moved the ball around the defence well but Arsenal's pressing high up isn't allowing them out. They've gone all the way back to Vorm.

Arsenal with it again this time with Cazorla and Arteta echanging passes under no pressure in midfield. Swansea happy to sit back in formation.

Rosicky steps on Michu after a loose touch and Swansea get a free kick in their own half. A moments reprieve as they try and work the ball up to Bony.

Arteta delivers a deep free kick to the far post towards Mertesacker but again it is too close to Vorm and he gathers with ease.

It has been all Arsenal. They're moving the ball fast and fluid and Swansea are sat very very deep and very very narrow.

Arteta finds space in th emiddle and spreads to Cazorla. He tries to find Giroud at the far post but it is too close to Vorm and he gathers with ease.

Routledge barges Sagna in the back on the right wing. Arteta takes quickly and Giroud lays it back to Oxlade chamberlain who lets loose a volley from the edge of the area but Vorm does well to parry.

Bony does well to hold off Mertesacker and then spread the ball out to Rangel on the right but his cross is easily headed away by Vermaelen.

Arsenal with most of the ball in the early stages but Swansea are sat very deep and soaking up the pressure.

And we're off at the Emirates with Swansea set to kick us off shooting from right to left. Lee Probert is the ref.

With just five minutes to go before kick off it would only be courteous to give you the odds. Arsenal can be backed at 4/9 while an away win is priced at 6/1. And a draw, which has never happened between these two can be had at 10/3.

STAT: The away side in this fixture have scored two goals in five of the last six meetings between these sides. Swansea have won just two of their last eight Premier League games while tonight's opponents have won just three in the same time period. If the season had started on New Years Day Swansea would be in the relegation zone, two points from safety.
