The absence of any truly dominant force in this year's Premier League has seen Arsenal emerge as a genuine title contender. They sit joint-top of the table with Manchester City heading into the 11th round of fixtures, and have looked increasingly impressive as the games have gone on. They smashed Manchester United 3-0 as part of their current run of four straight league wins, and will be looking to keep the momentum up away at Swansea City on Saturday.

Arsenal will look to record their fifth straight Premier League win away at Swansea City on Saturday.


The Swans started the season excellently, though they've struggled of late and have won only three of their opening 10 matches. Coach Garry Monk is reportedly feeling the heat, and a failure to build on their win away at Aston Villa last weekend could well cost him dearly. Having said that, they're still not expected to pick up anything from this match at home to Arsenal, and a draw would be seen as a good result for the Welsh side.
Key player: Alexis Sánchez (Arsenal)
Swansea will be most anxious to keep Arsenal's Chilean wing wonder out of the game, though that's a task easier said than done. Sánchez has looked ever more impressive as the season has gone on, and is now one of the Premier League's most in-form players. Don't be surprised to see him add to his tally of six league goals on Saturday.
Key matchup: Bafétimbi Gomis vs. Per Mertesacker
Swansea have a dangerous attacker of their own, in the shape of former French international Bafétimbi Gomis. He was signed from Lyon on a free transfer last season, and was initially only a bit-part player. However, the departure of Wilfried Bony to Manchester City has afforded him more space in the first team, and with four goals so far he's Swansea's second-leading scorer (one behind André Ayew). Quick, strong and a defender's nightmare, he could well give Arsenal's Per Mertesacker a tough afternoon.
Swansea City injuries and suspensions
Out: None. In doubt: Wayne Routledge (calf).
Arsenal injuries and suspensions
Out: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey (hamstring); Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere (calf); Mikel Arteta (ankle); David Ospina (shoulder); Tomáš Rosický, Danny Welbeck (knee).
Swansea’s only injury doubt is winger Routledge, who is struggling with a minor calf problem.
Arsenal have quite serious problems on the injury front, with a string of first-team regulars missing. Walcott's absence will enable Olivier Giroud to return to the lone striker slot, though injuries to Arteta, Ramsey and Oxlade-Chamberlain will mean Wenger has to get creative in midfield, with Mathieu Flamini likely to return to the starting lineup.
Match date/time: Sat., Oct. 31, 11 a.m. ET, 4 p.m. local
Venue: Liberty Stadium, Swansea, Wales
