[TEAMS] Swansea vs Arsenal: Arteta Missing For Gunners

Arsenal face Swansea this afternoon hoping to take advantage of Tottenham and Liverpool’s slip-ups yesterday, with both sides only managing home draws against Wolves and Stoke respectively, and close the gap on fourth-placed Chelsea. A win would put the Gunners four points clear of Liverpool, seven points behind third placed Spurs and just one point adrift of Chelsea.

Mikel Arteta misses out with a knee injury picked up in training yesterday, with Yossi Benayoun replacing him in the starting line-up. Thierry Henry remains on the bench with Andrey Arshavin keeping his place on the left. Here are the confirmed teams:

Swansea Team

Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Taylor, Britton, Allen, Agustien, Dyer, Sinclair, Graham.

SUBS: Tremmel, Richards, Monk, Routledge, Sigurdsson, Moore, Lita.

Arsenal Team

Szczesny, Djourou, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Miquel, Song, Ramsey, Benayoun, Walcott, Arshavin, Van Persie

SUBS: Almunia, Yennaris, Squillaci, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henry, Park
