Arsenal face Southampton in the Premier League on Wednesday. It is a must-win game for the hosts given their recent struggles in the league.

Arsenal Form


Mikel Arteta could well be fighting for his job on Wednesday evening after watching his team lose six of their last eight league matches.

That form has seen them fall to 15th in the Premier League table a third of the way into the season. The Gunners have lost their last four consecutive home matches.

Those home defeats have come against Leicester, Aston Villa, Wolves and, most recently, Burnley.

Granit Xhaka was sent off in the 1-0 defeat to Sean Dyche’s side as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s own goal saw their fate confirmed.

Arsenal Team News


Both Hector Bellerin and Granit Xhaka are suspended in this contest. David Luiz, Sead Kolasinac, Thomas Partey and Reiss Nelson are injured.

Southampton Form


Southampton could have their sights set on a European place following their excellent start to the season.

The Saints are currently 4th in the Premier League table after winning six of their last eight matches. Away from home, they are unbeaten in five with three wins.

They have bounced back well from losing 3-2 to Manchester United, starting with a 2-1 defeat of Brighton on the road.

At the weekend, Southampton defeated Sheffield United 3-0 at St. Mary’s thanks to goals from Che Adams, Stuart Armstrong and Nathan Redmond.

Southampton Team News


Southampton currently have a clean bill of health coming into Wednesday. Nathan Redmond will be pushing to start after scoring in his substitute appearance at the weekend.

Despite their poor form, Arsenal are favourites to win this match at 2.28, while Southampton are available at 3.25. The draw is priced at 3.60.
