THE LOWDOWN
SOUTHAMPTON
- Southampton are coming off the back of a 0-6 thrashing at the hands of Chelsea, extending their poor run of form to five defeats from their last six in all competitions with just one Premier League point accrued from the last 15 available to them.
- After shipping six goals last weekend, it would be no surprise if the Saints were to make changes here with Jack Stephens a candidate to start, whilst striker Armando Broja is expected to return in place of Adam Armstrong.
ARSENAL
- All of a sudden, Arsenal have found themselves overtaken by Tottenham in the race to finish top four after having slipped to two successive defeats, most recently losing 1-2 in a shock result at home to Brighton.
- Both midfielder Thomas Partey and full back Kieran Tierney remain injured and each are solely missed, whilst the Gunners are likely to remain without defender Takehiro Tomiyasu.
THE TEAM NEWS
SOUTHAMPTON
PREDICTED XI (4-4-2): Forster; Livramento, Bednarek, Stephens, Walker-Peters; S. Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Elyounoussi; Adams, Broja
UNAVAILABLE:
QUESTIONABLE: Long (Injured)
ARSENAL
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale; Cedric, White, Gabriel, Nuno Tavares; Odegaard, Xhaka; Saka, Smith-Rowe, Martinelli; Lacazette
UNAVAILABLE: Partey (Injured), Tierney (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Tomiyasu (Injured), Lacazette (Illness)
THE PREDICTION
All of a sudden, this has become a massive game for Arsenal when taking into account the excellent form of Tottenham and in Southampton they perhaps could not have asked for better opposition, considering the battering Chelsea imposed upon the Saints last weekend. Although the Gunners are without two key players, Mikel Arteta has installed a steel among this young squad and a strong reaction is expected from them against a home side with little to play for bar pride in terms of the table. Therefore, back an Arsenal victory, but only via the draw no bet market.
Tip: ARSENAL DRAW NO BET
