Michael Owen backs Swansea City to draw with Arsenal

Michael Owen believes that Swansea City will earn a draw in their Premier League clash with Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium this afternoon.

The Swans currently lie seventh in the table, just two points behind fifth-placed Arsenal, and Owen has backed Garry Monk's side to gain a point against the Gunners.

The 34-year-old wrote on his Betvictor.com column: "This is Swansea's best start to a PL season and I expect them to avoid defeat against the Gunners' who must still be wondering how they let a three-goal lead slip against Anderlecht midweek.

"Arsenal's four PL wins so far this season have all been against sides currently in the bottom six and I think they will have to settle for a draw at the Liberty."

The game, which kicks off at 4pm, will be covered live on Sports Mole.
