The good news for Arsenal is that Olivier Giroud is able to carry on. The bad news? His team isn't firing. Swansea have had the better chances but will they rue those missed chances?

Look away now Arsenal fans. Olivier Giroud is down receiving treatment. It doesn't look good. That Gunners injury list could be about to have a new name added to it.

Liban: Bellerin can't dive into challenges on Montero or else he will cut inside and cause danger. Show him down the line.

Stephen: Sorry but Joel Campbell is a lazy player, never in a million years should he playing for Arsenal. We're really missing Ramsey.

Andy: Here's the plan, Monk is under pressure, Swans are struggling, could get three points and go top of the league. Plays Joel Campbell.   

Lovely passage of play from Swansea almost unlocks the Gunners defence. Swans boss Garry Monk will be slightly disappointed his side is not leading with half-time fast approaching.

That's more like from Arsenal. Olivier Giroud, who has been in excellent goalscoring form, fires narrowly over from just outside the area after Alexis Sanchez's clever pass.

Bafetimbi Gomis scored the winner on both occasions as Swansea did the double over Arsenal last season - but he is currently in the midst of a barren spell.

The French international striker has failed to score in his last six Premier League appearances, and his dithering miss after trying to round Petr Cech is perhaps symptomatic of his loss of confidence.

Will Swansea pay for not putting that away? It's the clearest chance of the match so far. We've seen little attacking threat from Arsenal so far.

Huge drama. Jonjo Shelvey feeds Bafetimbi Gomis with a defence-splitting pass which sends the Swansea striker clean through with just the keeper to beat.

He's on-side as he rounds Petr Cech but crashes to the ground and the chance is gone. Is Gomis brought down by Cech? Not according to Kevin Friend.

First bit of quality so far - and so nearly a goal for Arsenal. Joel Campbell goes oh so close to finding the net in his first Arsenal league start after a delicious curling first-time attempt from just outside the area.

That's more like it.

Very cat and mouse. Sloppy passing by two teams who are struggling to click into gear. We're still awaiting the first save - as well as the first corner.

Petr Cech plucks an aimless ball out of the air. This is short on entertainment, short on quality.

Put it like this. The way this is shaping it will be last on Match of the Day. Got the picture?

First sign of a threat from the Swans. Jefferson Montero gets behind the defence and crosses into the Arsenal box but Laurent Koscielny heads clear. Arsenal counter, Nacho Monreal flashing a chance well wide after the home defence had failed to clear the ball.

The Gunners are beginning to settle. A clear handball by Jefferson Montero goes unpunished deep inside the Swansea half. Slow start by both teams, to be honest, with neither keeper having anything to do.

Cautious start by both teams. Lots of passing - little attacking intent from either side in the opening two minutes.
