FA Cup: Arsenal and Swansea meet in third round replay at the Emirates


Arsenal and Swansea go in search of FA Cup progress as they meet in a third round replay at Emirates Stadium.


The two sides played out a 2-2 draw at the Liberty Stadium in their initial encounter, meaning they must try again in North London.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will need no reminding as to how long his side have gone without landing major silverware, so the Gunners will want to keep themselves in the hunt for as many trophies as possible.
Swansea, though, are proving to be something of cup specialists this season - with a lead already established in a two-legged Capital One Cup semi-final showdown with Chelsea.
They will be looking to repeat those heroics in FA Cup competition, and will head to the capital in confident mood.
Michael Laudrup's side have fared admirably in London this season, with a 2-0 victory over Arsenal at the Emirates back in December still fresh in the memory of both sides.
A trip to Brighton in round four awaits the victors.
