The true cost of Tuesday’s Capital One Cup exit to Sheffield Wednesday will perhaps be seen on Saturday as Arsenal, without the injured Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo Walcott, face a Swansea side who beat them home and away last season. Swansea’s Garry Monk has no such worries with his full squad available, but is hoping to improve on a run of one win in their past six league games. Paul Chronnell
