Aaron Ramsey has recovered from a calf problem to start for Arsenal against Swansea, meaning that the Gunners are unchanged for their last five Premier League matches for the first time since 1994.

The Welsh midfielder was injured during the win against Hull City last week and was a major doubt to play at the Emirates.

But he has recovered in time to start and allow Arsene Wenger to name an unchanged XI from that win at the KC Stadium.

That means that Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott remain on the bench as Arsenal continue to chase a place in the top two.

Swansea manager Garry Monk makes just one change to the team that beat Stoke City last weekend, bringing in extra midfield help with Ki Sung-Yeung replacing striker Nelson Oliveira.

Kick-off at 8pm.
