Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Michael Owen has predicted on Betvictor.com that Arsenal will win against Swansea City this weekend.

Arsenal will take on Swansea at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Owen believes that the Gunners will pick up all three points from the encounter in North London.

“Bob Bradley becomes the first American to take charge of a PL side when his Swansea side travel to the Emirates,” Owen wrote on Betvictor.com.

“The Swans, surprisingly, have picked up ten points from their last four visits to the Emirates but they face a Gunners side who have kept four clean sheets in a row in all competitions. It could be an easier start for Bradley.”

A footnote added: “Michael’s prediction: Arsenal to win to nil at 5/4.”

Arsenal are in brilliant form at the moment and will head into the match against Swansea high on confidence.

Arsene Wenger’s side are currently third in the Premier League table with 16 points from seven matches.

The North London outfit are just two points behind leaders Manchester City and are very much in the race for the league title.

Swansea are struggling at the moment and have been able to pick up just four points from seven games so far this campaign.

The Swans are just a place above the relegation zone and are in danger of going down to the Championship at the end of the 2016-17 campaign.

The Gunners will head into the match against Swansea on the back of a 1-0 victory over Burnley away from home at Turf Moor in the Premier League.
