Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Arsenal and Swansea City. The first-division clash scheduled for 3:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Emirates Stadium in London and can be live streamed here free.
After an embarrassing 6-0 loss to rivals Chelsea at the weekend, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been facing increased scrutiny. The Frenchman has seen his side concede 17 of 34 goals away to the other three title contenders this season. The slaughter at Stamford Bridge was so debilitating, Wenger opted to not speak to the media and cancelled his scheduled press conference. He did, however, take full responsibility and promised a comprehensive investigation into the team's performance the following day (h/t to the Telegraph). "I take full responsibility," Wenger said. "It is my fault that we failed completely because we did not turn up. It became a long, dramatic, dreadful afternoon," he added.
"This is puzzling because we were shocked and knocked down basically without feeling you have had a chance. The team is healthy and willing. We have to think deeply because it is not the first time."
