This has been a great opening quarter for Arsenal as West Ham lead Tottenham elsewhere.

The Gunners and Spurs will both be on 54 points as things stand, three behind Leicester.

For the first time Swansea build a little possession, Jack Cork finds Andre Ayew but he is stopped in his tracks by Francis Coquelin.

Alan Curtis in discussion with his team on the bench and up he gets. "LEO," he shouts. Leroy Fer is getting instructions.

Some catching practice for Petr Cech as he fields a cross from the left, diving in his six-yard box under little pressure.

Here is a look at our opener. Joel Campbell (28) burst into the area and was picked out in timely fashion by Alexis Sanchez.

Time for a changing of the guard at Arsenal?

Swansea rally and finally see some ball in the final third but there's nothing doing. This could be a drubbing, it has that feel about it. Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez are popping things around with energy, Aaron Ramsey looks focused, the Gunners are finding space.

"There’s a long way to go and I would not rule out Arsenal. The problem for Leicester is that being chased is very difficult, it is easier being the chaser." 

Arsenal build from the back as the trio of Bafetimbi Gomis, Andre Ayew and Wayne Routledge try to keep them pinned in. It's good forward play as they slow the home side's progress.

Alex Sanchez will meet a flick on... air shot. He gathers control in the area though and tries to shift the ball back onto his right foot. Chance gone? No, he cracks one across the keeper and strikes the post. The ball rebounds straight into the hands of Lukasz Fabianski.

This could be a long night for Swansea. A reminder if you are just joining us that their head coach Francesco Guidolin is not at the ground but in hospital with a chest infection.

So far his boys are having to defend and Arsenal are happy top push their full-backs on into wide areas. 

Lovely stuff from the home side as Olivier Giroud, Joel Campbell and Hector Bellerin link. It is the latter racing forward on the right and he finds Giroud who cannot hook an effort of meaning at goal. It's a tame effort and for the second time already, Ashley Williams blocks in his area.

Great, slick play by Arsenal.

A high-tempo start from Arsenal, they are seeing a bit of the ball in the Swansea final third. Leroy Fer is making his full debut for the away side and he is harried by Francis Coquelin in midfield, forcing the error.

This is the iconic British group Scouting for Girls. 

So why do they feature in this live text? Am I a fan? Not really. Did any of them ever feature for Arsenal or Swansea? Not as far as I know.

It turns out that Arsenal could lose three games in a row with defeat tonight. The last time that happened came in April 2010 when these three lads were top of the charts with their hit 'This ain't a love song'.

Arsenal build play neatly, Aaron Ramsey feeds the ball wide and the cut-back sees Olivier Giroud pass an effort from 12 yards towards the bottom corner. Ashley Williams blocks with his legs. The overload Arsenal had will concern Alan Curtis.

Bafetimbi Gomis picks up the ball 30 yards from goal and crashes through the challenge of Per Mertesacker, the German should be stronger. The ball zips through to Petr Cech who slides out to collect it.

And so on a pitch which looks like a bowling green, we are underway. Arsenal in red and white, Swansea in green and blue. A smart early touch for Kyle Naughton to settle any nerves...

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "In the Premier League every game is so tough. In the last two games we had some good moments and what we want is to create a consistent 90 minutes. We have an opportunity to bounce back."
