Arsenal have enjoyed a five-game unbeaten streak in their recent Premier League fixtures and haven't conceded in their last four.
However, Southampton may have the bit between their teeth for this one after defeating Arsenal in the FA Cup last time out at the weekend.

Our prediction: Southampton v Arsenal
Both teams will believe they can win this one; they will see an opportunity to claw their way back into the brewing European dogfight.
Arsenal, who will be without Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang due to personal reasons, are likely to field a spritely, young line-up including Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli, and that will please many fans.
On the other hand, Danny Ings is back in the fold for Southampton and is likely to be the man to lead the Saints back up the table. Expect a close, entertaining affair.
Our prediction: Southampton 1-1 Arsenal
