Swansea City (3-3-4, 13 points) is set to face top contender Arsenal (7-2-1, 22 points) at the Liberty Stadium this Saturday for a 2015-2016 Premier League encounter.

The Swans just won the team's first game in their last six outings against cellar-dweller Aston Villa, 2-1, last Saturday at the Villa Park to snap their five-game winless skid, as per Daily Mail Online.

Midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson and striker André Ayew scored one goal apiece in the second half to lift Swansea over the Villans after André's brother, Jordan, gave Kevin MacDonald's men a brief 1-0 lead at the 62nd minute.

Meanwhile, the Gunners overpowered Everton, 2-1, at the Emirates Stadium also last Saturday to reach league leaders Manchester City at the top of the standings, as reported by BBC Sport.

Striker Olivier Giroud and defender Laurent Koscielny scored one goal each in a span of two minutes to give Arsenal an early 2-0 lead.

Toffees midfielder Ross Barkley found the back of the net at the 44th to put his team on the board, but that was the closest Roberto Martínez's squad had gotten.

It was the fourth consecutive victory for Arsene Wenger and his wards and they are keen on extending their winning run to five against the struggling Swans in this match.

The predicted result is a 3-0 blowout for Arsenal.

Swansea City starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Fabianski; Fernández, Williams, Taylor, Naughton; Sigurdsson, Ayew; Sung-yueng, Shelvey, Montero; Gomis

Arsenal starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Cech; Bellerín, Paulista, Monreal, Koscielny; Cazorla, Sánchez; Özil, Coquelin, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Giroud
