Mikel Arteta’s side were held to a 2-2 draw at Man City before a three-match winning streak - all at home. Arsenal thrashed Bolton 5-1 in the EFL Cup and saw off Leicester in a 4-2 Premier League victory.

The North London side added another win to their tally with a strong 2-0 victory over PSG on Tuesday. Arsenal hit the French side twice on the counter and Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka struck in the first half.

Midfielder and captain Martin Odegaard is out until October due to injury.

Defensive trio Kieran Tierney, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oleksandr Zinchenko are also unavailable.

Striker Havertz notched his third goal in as many matches against PSG. The German forward is set to retain his place up front against Southampton.

Southampton Form

Southampton are off the bottom of the Premier League table on goal difference only. The newly promoted team have taken just one point from six opening games.

The Saints lost four games in a row to start the season and conceded eight. Southampton showed some promise by holding Ipswich to a 1-1 home draw.

Russell Martin’s side couldn’t build momentum and lost again on Monday, falling to a 3-1 defeat at Bournemouth. Southampton were 3-0 down after 38 minutes, allowed 1.44 XG and Taylor Harwood-Bellis scored a late consolation.

Verdict

Arsenal v Southampton

Arsenal are one of the best home sides in the Premier League and often score multiple goals. Southampton’s defence has struggled in the top-flight and a Gunners win with goals is a good pick.
