Campbell floats a ball inside to Ozil. He flicks it on behind him, and Sanchez takes an airshot. He retains the ball, though, cuts onto his right inside the box, and he fires in a shot to the far post that rebounds off the woodwork and is claimed by Fabianski.
9'
Arsenal break, Swansea drop deep in response. Arsenal play a few short passes around the box, waiting for an opening, but Monreal eventually runs into an offside position.

5'
Giroud brings down a clipped ball into the box. He takes a couple of touches, and tries to backheel inside for a team-mate, but it's straight at a defender.
3'
Sanchez slides the ball inside to Giroud. His side-footed shot is on target, but blocked by Williams. Coquelin has a shot from distance, but it's well wide.

Five minutes until kick off now, so check out the preview for the other big game of the day, as Liverpool and Manchester City meet.
19:35
If Arsenal don't win tonight, they could possibly be six points off the top of the table, and that would - depending on what Spurs do - make the title look almost impossible. Swansea, however, need a win to drag themselves away from the relegation zone. They'll be in 16th whatever happens, but they need the three points.

19:25
There's little chance of a rerun of this happening tonight. Arsenal will want to recover after the disappointment of the weekend, whereas Gomis is severely lacking in form.
19:20
For Swansea, Fabianksi starts in goal. Stephen Kingsley makes his league debut for Swansea, and Leroy Fer will start in midfield. Jonjo Shelvey would play, but he joined Newcastle.
