Premier League: Arsenal vs Swansea preview
The Gunners suffered a terrible nightmare last weekend, Arsene Wenger's 1000th game in charge ended in bitter defeat as Chelsea won the London derby 6-0. Arsenal will be looking to bounce back from that defeat when they host Swansea City in the Premier League on Tuesday. The Gunners found themselves three goals and a man down after just 17 minutes of play at Stamford Bridge. Many suggested that Arsenal are now out of the title race but Wenger and his men are determined to prove everybody wrong, with the first step being three points against Swansea. Arsenal are seven points behind Chelsea but with a game in hand, so a win on Tuesday could reduce the arrears to four points. The Gunners have been strong at home this season, winning 10 and drawing three fixtures since the 3-1 opening-day defeat to Aston Villa. Swansea have been in trouble on the road since the start of this campaign, drawing three and losing six of their past nine away matches. The Swans have not managed to win a single match since a 3-0 triumph over rivals Cardiff City on February 8. The Welsh team is now in 15th place after losing at Everton last weekend, just four points clear of the relegation zone. Arsenal will still miss three key players as Mesut Ozil (hamstring), Jack Wilshere (foot) and Ramsey (thigh) all remain sidelined. Here are the odds for the match at Bet365: Arsenal win - 1/2 Draw - 7/2 Swansea win - 13/2
