Arsenal host Swansea City on Saturday as they look to return to winning ways in the Premier League.

The Gunners, who have drawn their previous two matches, will be without Laurent Koscielny after the French defender was ruled out for three weeks with a groin injury.

Kieran Gibbs is expected to replace Koscielny while Gervinho could return to the starting lineup in place of Aaron Ramsey.

Swansea secured an impressive 3-1 victory over West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday and it is unlikely that manager Michael Laudrup will make any alterations to his starting lineup.

Miguel Michu netted his eighth goal of the season against the Baggies and Laudrup will be hoping that the Spanish midfielder can continue his hot streak in front of goal.
