Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips

Third placed Arsenal will be looking to carry on where they left off before the international break when the Premier League resumes this weekend as The Gunners play host to struggling Swansea City at The Emirates on Saturday afternoon.

Prior to the break, Arsenal were in supreme form having racked up five league wins on the trot along with additional wins in the League Cup away at Nottingham Forest and a 2-0 home win over Basel in the Champions League.

On the domestic front, Arsenal registered the five straight wins over Watford, Southampton, Hull City, Chelsea and Burnley, while on home turf, they lost to Liverpool in their opening home game of the season but have since recovered to record back-to-back wins against the aforementioned Southampton and Chelsea who both occupy top half league positions.

Onto Swansea City, and I can’t help wondering if the Swans’ owners are secretly regretting their decision to sack former manager Garry Monk as the Welsh outfit just haven’t been the same since his departure – not that they would admit this of course!

Recent performances and results make Swansea City prime candidates for relegation from the English top flight, and the appointment of former USA national manager Bob Bradley will do nothing for their cause, and seems an erratic and panic-driven choice by the powers that be at the Liberty Stadium.

The Swans have lost five of their last six matches in the top flight with defeats to Hull City, Leicester City, Southampton, Manchester City and Liverpool, while their away record stands at  1-0-2  2/3.

An early goal from Arsenal here and the flood-gates could well and truly open.
