3. Swansea Are Well Rested
The exertions of midweek European football are yet to be experienced by Swansea, with Michael Laudrup's men having all that to look forward to next season in their Europa League campaign but Arsenal will be coming off the back of a trip back from Germany with their Champions League ambitions torn to shreds. With rumours of a "weakened" team to play the Bundesliga giants at the Allianz Arena it seemed as if Arsene Wenger had an eye on this weekend's fixture but when a near full strength team exited the tunnel the advantage was back in Swansea's corner. Add on top of that the fact that Arsenal are already without key players Wilshere, Podolski and Sagna, having an already partially exerted team could prove conclusive to the outcome on Saturday.
