Arsenal enters Saturday's Premier League match against Swansea City after a 2-0 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League and the team could have a leg up if Leon Britton can't go.

Manager Michael Laudrup is hoping to have him in the lineup after he suffered a hip injury last weekend against West Brom, while the team is dealing with a number of other injured. Like Moore will be back after dealing with a calf injury, but Swansea will be undermanned as Choci Flores and Kemy Agustein will be out again.

Arsenal also has some issues of its own, as Jack Wilshere could be out this weekend as well and they will need to be focused, as Swansea has done well recently against the Gunners and this time the game will be at home. The last time the two clubs faced off in the FA Cup, Arsenal took it 1-0 at home, but now the match will be at Liberty Stadium. Arsenal is three spots ahead of Swansea on the table with 47 points, while city has 40.

Wilshire has been out for three weeks and could miss more time as the team tried to make it back to the top of the standings to ensure their spot in the Champions league next season. The team won 2-0 against Bayern without Wilshire, but Swansea will be determined on Saturday.

Arsenal will also be without Kieran Gibbs, who was dealing with a thigh injury, while goalie Wojciech Szczesny and captain Thomas Vermaelen could play after resting in that match. There are even more injuries, as Lukas Podolski will also be out for the match.

Manager Arsene Wegner said: They (Vermaelen and Szczesny) are two outstanding players who are part of our squad. They have played so many games until now. Their position is very important in the squad,'' he said. "But every position is up for grabs. You have to face it like that, the last game decides the next one. All the players are in the same position. Nobody is guaranteed places in the team."

This will be the fourth meeting between the two this season, with the matches going 1-1-1 for each team in those contests. The matches have been exciting each time, as six of the seven goals scored have come in the final 10 minutes of play, while Michu has scored three of Swansea's goals against the club.

Swansea is trying to make some history for itself, as it is trying to win four matches in a row at home in the Premier League for the first time. It will be tough against a team that is averaging nearly 60 percent possession this season, while Ashley Williams has been excellent by making 40 blocks, most in the league.

Earlier this season Michu scored twice, including one in the 88th minute of the match and then later in stoppage time to earn the win in the first match. He has been excellent this year while scoring 19 goals across all competitions and he will be the main focus of the defense on Saturday.
