The key questions facing the big six this weekend
Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said on Friday that Wayne Rooney being dropped by England as well as Manchester United was not his problem but that the player was positive ahead of Monday’s match at Liverpool.
In a testy press conference during which he was reluctant to engage with most of the questions, Mourinho was asked if he felt it had been a difficult period for Rooney. “That’s not my problem. England’s not my problem,” he said. Asked about the 30-year-old’s current mental state, he added: “He is good he is prepared, he is training well and is positive.”
44 min: Ozil delivers, an incoming Mustafi just misses, and the ball is booted clear. The danger passes...for now.
45 min: Arsenal with another corner - this time from the left - but Fabianski claims Cazorla's delivery with ease.
HALF TIME: Arsenal 2-1 Swansea
After being blown away in the opening 30 minutes, Swansea have fought their way back into this and head into the break with hope. This is the Gunners game for the taking though and another goal would surely seal the deal.
89 min: Naughton floats one in from the right and it's Fer who rises highest at the far post to meet it. He had a big target to hit but instead fired his header straight down the throat of Cech who comfortably claimed the effort with two big hands. That should have definitely been 3-3.
