If Arsenal are serious about hunting down Chelsea, then nothing less than victory will do at Swansea. While the good news for Arsenal is that Mesut Özil is back after illness, Hector Bellerín and Francis Coquelin are among a long list of absentees. Swansea have their own problems, with Neil Taylor and new signing Luciano Narsingh ruled out. Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud, who has scored in his past four matches, could be the man to watch.
