8 players injured. We have 15 (if you count Campbell) senior outfield players available.

Wenger will probably go with Flamini and Coquelin in the middle and push Cazorla forward rather than start Campbell. Actually Flamini up front would be less worrisome.

Our bench will be Macey, Debuchy, Gibbs, Mertesacker, Chambers, Campbell and probably Iwobi.

FFS.

Theo is perfect against a team like Swansea away from home. Without Theo, Welbz or Ox, we have little pace and no way to change anything if Giroud's not working out. Playing Iwobi up there is the only alternative, but that's never happening.

Anyway, need Giroud to be on his game, or else Swansea will pub another result against us.

Fuck off injuries.

Got a feeling we're going to slip up in this one. Swansea are always a tricky team to play even at the best of times.

1-1.

Nah we're due a win over these fuckers.

The next time they beat us will be some time in the future when it is a long time away.

2-1. That spuds reject, Gomis and Montero always raise their games against us and will probably do so again on Saturday.

I can see us playing Bellerin up front with Giroud and Alexis, with Debuchy starting at RB.

little bit OAP.

In light of both The Ox's and Theo's injuries I really hope Wenger doesn't alter the spine of the team by shifting one of Ozil or Santi out wide. It would disrupt our passing rhythm and control of the game, something we've been excellent at the past few weeks.

Swansea are a good side who're are going to be tough to break down. What we absolutely can not do is lose control of the game and conceed cheap early goals; moreover like the Watford game, we've got to keep it tight and compact at the start and take our chances when they come.

Solutions therefore are them to either play Campbell out on the right or perhaps to move Bellerin forward and play Debauchy at RB.
