High-flying Arsenal will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over PSG when they face Southampton in yet another home Premier League fixture on Saturday afternoon. The Gunners are determined to put an end to Man City’s dominance in the national championship and a win over Southampton could see them overtake Pep Guardiola’s troops in the Premier League standings. Fit-again summer signing Mikel Merino is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the Champions League clash, while all Oleksandr Zinchenko, Martin Odeegaard, and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain in the recovery room. 

The Saints, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Bournemouth and they are unlikely to spoil Arsenal’s party at Emirates Stadium. In their last meeting in London the two sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw and yet another high-scoring affair is on the horizon. Both Gavin Bazunu and Kamaldeen Sulemana are injured for the visiting side as well as Will Smallbone.

Score Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Southampton
