THE LOWDOWN
ARSENAL
- For the second match in a row, Arsenal let a two-goal lead slip and had to settle for a point when they were pegged back by West Ham, and questions are now being asked of their title credentials.
- William Saliba will not recover in time to face the Saints while it is highly likely that Oleksandr Zinchenko misses out as well, with Rob Holding and Kieran Tierney set to deputise once again.
SOUTHAMPTON
- Bottom-of-the-table Southampton were on the receiving end of an Eberechi Eze double last week as their defeat to Crystal Palace made it six Premier League games without a win.
- There are five confirmed absences with the ineligible Ainsley Maitland-Niles joining Mohamed Salisu, Tino Livramento, Juan Lario and Che Adams on the sidelines.

THE PREDICTION
It’s top meets bottom on Friday night with a huge amount at stake for both sides. Arsenal have stuttered lately by dropping four points and a win here is an absolute must ahead of the potential title decider against Man City next midweek. This looks like the ideal fixture for them to get back on track though, with Southampton statistically the worst side in the division as they stare relegation in the face. A third successive slip-up for the Gunners looks highly unlikely, and they are more than capable of wrapping up the win early on.
TIP: DOUBLE RESULT – ARSENAL / ARSENAL
