Arsenal vs Southampton: Premier League Prediction Match Details
Arsenal will lock horns with Southampton in the Premier League matchday seven on Saturday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium in London. Can the Gunners end their three-match winless streak against the Saints?
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal have made an impressive performance in their race to contend for the Premier League title with City this season. The Gunners almost squared their 2-0 halftime lead against Leicester City, with the Foxes leveling in the 63rd minute, but two quick late goals from Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz in the stoppage time gave them a comfortable 4-2 win at their home soil. The Gunners have managed to remain unbeaten in all their competitions this season. They currently sit third in the league table with 14 points, the same points as Manchester City but a point behind Liverpool. Arteta’s side has scored an impressive 12 league goals while conceding five goals in the process.
The Gunners continued their impressive form in the Champions League by beating the French Giants 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium in their midweek game. This will boost their confidence in getting their first win against Southampton in their previous three meetings.
Southampton Preview & Form
Southampton have continued to make a poor and terrible start to their new campaign since promotion to top-flight football, as they are among the five teams that have failed to win any of their first six Premier League matches. The Saints have only managed to gather one point while suffering back-to-back defeats. The Saints’ boss, Russell Martin, is facing intense heat at the moment and is under tremendous pressure to deliver results as his side sits 19th in the table. Their front line has only managed to score three goals, but they have exceeded 12 goals. They were heavily demolished in the South Coast derby by Bournemouth on Monday night at the Vitality Stadium, with the match ending 3-1.
The Saints, when playing on the road, have suffered three consecutive league defeats, and head coach Russell Martin will be hoping his side can end the form.
