Tuesday evening’s Premier League action from the Liberty Stadium sees Swansea City take on Arsenal.

The South Wales go in to the game on the back of Saturday afternoon’s 1-1 draw with League Two promotion hopefuls Notts County while they beat Liverpool last time out in the league, with Alfie Mawson scoring the only goal of the game.

The Swans are one of only four sides to stop the free-scoring Merseysiders from finding the back of the net and they will be hopeful of another scalp here, safely in the knowledge that victory will take them out of the drop zone while a point would at least see them climb off the bottom.

Renato Sanches will miss the game after picking up a hamstring problem at Meadow Lane though Federico Fernandez returns after missing out at the weekend with a nose injury.

Tammy Abraham is widely available at 9.0 (8/1) to open the scoring with Wilfried Bony a 10.0 (9/1) shot with Unibet.

The home win is as highly priced as the 7.0 (6/1) on offer from a variety of firms with the visitors favourites at 1.53 (8/15) with Betfred. The draw can be backed at 4.65 (73/20) with Unibet.

Having beaten Crystal Palace by four goals to one last time out in the league, Arsene Wenger’s side booked their place in the EFL Cup final after beating Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium last Wednesday.

Another win here would see them move level on points with rivals Tottenham Hotspur, who host Manchester United on Wednesday evening.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is set to make his Gunners debut though Danny Welbeck and Santi Cazorla are out while it remains to see whether or not a fit-again Olivier Giroud will be involved amid continuing speculation surrounding his future.

Alexandre Lacazette is favourite to get the first goal of the game at 4.6 (18/5) with Unibet with Mkhitaryan an 8.0 (7/1) chance with Sky Bet.

The Gunners came from behind to record a 2-1 victory when the sides met in North London back in October and you can back both teams to score here at 2.05 (21/20) with Betfair.
