Arsenal, Recent FormArsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against West Ham United. They achieved 72% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against West Ham United's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Arteta will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 18 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 8 goals during those same matches. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 11 games. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.
Gabriel Jesus will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Arsenal.
Southampton, Recent FormThe Southampton squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Crystal Palace, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they recorded 58 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 9 shots on goal.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 4 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 12 goals in the same period. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. Having shipped at least a single goal in 27 of their 31 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
James Ward-Prowse is the man of the moment at Southampton right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
Arsenal have scored in each of their last 6 games at home in the league against The Saints.
On home soil Arsenal have managed to keep their visitors at bay for a very long time in this league fixture, denying Southampton a win against them for 25 games in a row.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Mohamed Elneny (Knee), William Saliba (Back) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (Medial Collateral Ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Ché Adams (Calf) and Mohamed Salisu (Knock) both unavailable and Juan Larios (Muscle) being out for the rest of the season, Southampton manager Rubén Sellés will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
