Preamble
Well then. Here we are. It's a freezing cold night in London, but there's nothing like a good game of football to warm you up – with the possible exception of central heating, a roaring fire and a gang of hooded nasties chasing after you with pitchforks – and with any luck that's exactly what we're going to get. For the forgetful, in the first game Swansea led 1-0 after 80 minutes, Arsenal led 2-1 after 83 minutes, and Swansea and Arsenal drew 2-2 after 90 minutes. So it ended well. We'll skim over the goalless first 57 minutes. This after the incredible scenes when the teams met here in the league last month, and goal ace Michu scored twice in the closing stages to steal the points for the Swans. So it ended well. We'll skim over the goalless first 87 minutes.
