FanView: Why Paul Clement Should Be More Worried About Attack Than Defence in His Swansea Imbalance

Tuesday night was a cause for concern for Paul Clement and Swansea following on from their Carabao Cup defeat against Manchester United. The injury to the club's only specialist left-back in Martin Olsson has resulted in the defensive options within the side being rather stretched.

The Swans are currently stuck with three fit centre-halves, two right-backs and no left-back. Such is the imbalance within the squad that Clement will likely resort to dragging central midfielder Sam Clucas into defence to fill in for Olsson against Arsenal on Saturday - likely having to deal with the link up between Mesut Ozil and Hector Bellerin.
