Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta will be desperate to overturn a dismal return to the Premier League season when his side head to Southampton on Thursday.

Arsenal have already played twice since the coronavirus hiatus ended and their upcoming Premier League fixtures could well get testy.

A defeat to Brighton last time out means the Gunners travel to the south coast low on form and confidence.

Southampton are one win away from the clichéd 40-point mark which is usually enough to secure safety from relegation.

They beat Norwich 3-0 last Friday night and looked comfortable doing so with Danny Ings, Stuart Armstrong and Nathan Redmond on the goal trail

Southampton v Arsenal team news

Southampton: Saints have Kevin Danso and Kyle Walker-Peters available after their loan spells were extended to cover the rest of the season.

Meanwhile, Shane Long is back after an injury and could get a start here. Moussa Djenepo is suspended but apart from that manager Ralph Hasenhüttl has a fully-fit squad to choose from.

Arsenal: Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez will step in in place for the injured Bernd Leno, who may not play again this season. Boss Mikel Arteta may have Kieran Tierney a game at left-back, while Matteo Guendouzi could keep his place in the XI despite recent transfer rumours.

There is unlikely to be a place for Granit Xhaka as yet, while Eddie Nketiah could start ahead of Alexandre Lacazette as Arteta seeks to change things after two successive defeats. It seems doubtful that Mesut Ozil will play.

Our prediction: Southampton v Arsenal

Arsenal suffered badly in the dying minutes of their defeat to Brighton and historically aren’t a side known for their tub-thumping reactions against bad form.

There are worrying signs from prior games that this could be another pitiful performance for the Gunners unless boss Arteta can inspire some fight in his side.

Southampton will be confident of getting a result here after watching Brighton snatch a victory on Saturday. Expect Long to start and potentially be the difference here.

Our prediction: Southampton 1-1 Arsenal
