SOUTHAMPTON
Under Ralph Hassenhutl’s reign, the Saints have witnessed huge losses on different occasions. Apart from the defeat to Chelsea, they lost 9-0 to Leicester in October 2019 and in 2021 they got thumped 9-0 by Man United.
Their recent run is a far cry from the side that troubled Man City, got points off Man United at Old Trafford and won away at Spurs.
Having dropped to 14th on the log, the home side will be looking for all 3 points here. Although they do not have any relegation worries at the moment, the 3 points could come in handy in helping them push for a mid table finish.
ARSENAL
With losses against Palace and Brighton, Arsenal’s top four dreams seem to be slipping away. The Gunners are currently 5th on the table, 3 points behind 4th placed Spurs. This means to take control of this top four battle, there’s no room for further slip up.
Arsenal will be drawing confidence from the fact that they have lost just one of their last 12 League games against Southampton.
As they look to avoid 3 losses on the bounce, Arteta’s men will be gunning for their first league double against the Saints since 2016/17 season.

OUR PREVIEW AND BETTING TIPS FOR SOUTHAMPTON Vs ARSENAL

While Southampton have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 5 games, Arsenal conceded 5 in their last two. This means both sides have defensive issues at the moment.
