Bob Bradley's debut at the helm of a Premier League football club has been a long time coming.

The new Swansea boss has been linked with a host of jobs - most recently Hull City - since leaving the USMNT, external (Google it and weep if you're unfamiliar), and has finally got the chance he believes he deserves.

If he can halt Arsenal's five-game winning streak in the Premier League then it would be the perfect start for the man who came within a whisker of getting Le Havre promoted into the French top flight last season.

Mind you, Michael Laudrup, Garry Monk and Francesco Guidolin all enjoyed wins at the Emirates, so the bar has been set pretty high.

Arsenal pair Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey will not be involved as they look to regain match fitness following respective toe and hamstring injuries.

Francis Coquelin is back after missing the last two games with a knee problem.

Swansea striker Fernando Llorente, who sat out the defeat by Liverpool with rib and knee injuries, has not trained fully this week and is set to miss out.

Jefferson Montero is sidelined by a calf problem but Federico Fernandez has recovered from a groin injury.

"Damn it, I've got Oscar and Fabregas in my fantasy team..."

Team news for the early game - which in case you've already forgotten comes from Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea host Leicester - will be dropping around 11:30 BST. So until then we'll focus on Saturday 15:00 kick-offs in the Premier League. We'll start at the Emirates, where Swansea are the visitors. They like American things now.

I'm only joking. We won't be focusing too much on Monday's game between Liverpool and Manchester United, so the Wayne bashing can wait. And besides, we've got a decent array of Saturday fixtures to get stuck into.

We start with a tasty one: a clash of the Italian bosses as Antonio Conte's challengers Chelsea host Claudio Ranieri's champions Leicester. That'll get under way in about three and a half hours. Which gives you plenty of time to get out to the shops and start stockpiling some Marmite* in case of another crisis. Or, you know, just stay where you are and have jam instead.

*Other jars of concentrated evil are available.

Thank goodness the international break is over.

Now we can get away from the pointless, infuriating, counter-productive, media-driven obsession with the status of a certain struggling individual in the England squad.

So... will Wayne Rooney start against Liverpool then, or what?
