S.P.Read Esq: Arsenal v Swansea

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the Premier League game (8pm SKY) between ARSENAL v SWANSEA and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

As I found to my cost yesterday end of season matches can be trappy when teams have nothing left but pride to pay for. I’m regretting backing Chelsea superiority now with hindsight of course 🙁

It shouldn’t be the case for Arsenal tonight though at the Emirates who are still chasing a top three finish in the Premier League and a ticket straight through to the Group Stages of the Champions League.

It’s hard to see the Gunners slipping up tonight against a Swansea side who have struggled against the bigger sides this season but are still lying in a highly creditable eighth in the table.

Whether Arsenal should be as skinny in the market as they are is another matter entirely. The two sides are meeting for the eighth time in the Premier League and so far they have won three apiece. Swansea came from a goal down to beat Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium in the reverse fixture back in November.

Arsenal are likely to be without Aaron Ramsey who is a major doubt after sustaining a blow to the leg at Hull and another absentee is forward Danny Welbeck after his knee injury.

For Swansea, defender Jordi Amat is out for the season and Nelson Oliveira is sidelined by an ankle injury.

There could easily be a hat-full of goals with Arsenal finishing the season so strongly.

I’m buying goals at 3.3 on Star Spreads.
