Swansea City: 100/30
Arsenal: 5/6
Draw: 5/2
Things are looking reasonable enough for Swansea, who are picking up points consistently at home – it’s only Manchester United who have beaten them so far at the Liberty Stadium. They have pretty much a full squad to pick from and some key players, like Scott Sinclair and Joe Allen. The main question is whether they can actually out-play Arsenal at essentially their own game of patient passing and moving. They haven’t scored in five of their last ten games.
As for Arsenal, they did have to work in breaking down Leeds, until Thierry Henry showed up, and they also are struggling in the full back areas thanks to a mass of injuries, with Francis Coquelin the latest to go down with an injury. Johan Djorou is fit for the Gunners. They have lost two of their last three league game, hitting just 7 goals in their last 7 league matches. This game looks like it should be a low scoring affair, with lots of patient possession and it might take that moment of extra quality to seal a 1-0 win for other side.
Arsenal look too short a price here given Swansea’s home form and their goal shy current form, so we like the draw at 5/2 with Paddy Power. They also have a great offer where they will re-fund losing correct score and first scorer bets if Robin van Persie scores the last goal.
