Bob Bradley makes Premier League coaching debut for Swansea vs. Arsenal
Bob Bradley strikes new ground for American managers Saturday, as he guides struggling Swansea City against Arsenal at the Emirates in London (10 a.m., CNBC).
Bradley is the first American manager ever in one of Europe's major top-flight leagues, and he has his work cut out for him, leading the 17th-place Swans. On the opposing sideline is Arsene Wenger, who is celebrating 20 years at Arsenal. The Gunners entered the day in third place as winners of five straight league matches, finding their form after a wobbly start to the 2016-17 campaign.
Here is Bradley's first XI as Swansea manager:
