Preview: Swansea City vs. Arsenal

Swansea vs. Arsenal

Swansea City will hope to upset Arsenal for the second time this season as they prepare to go head to head at the Liberty Stadium in the third round of the FA Cup this weekend.

The Swans secured a 2-0 win over the Gunners in December but the travelling side are likely to rely on the current form of Theo Walcott, who could start up front for the North London outfit.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger takes his side into the clash on the back of a 1-1 draw with Southampton, while Michael Laudrup's Swansea side head into the fixture after coming from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw with Aston Villa.

Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere could hold the midfield for the Gunners, while Danny Graham is expected to lead the line for the home side, with Michu providing support.
