Arsenal Southampton Bukayo Saka Gabriel Martinelli Granit Xhaka Kieran Tierney EPL Aaron Ramsdale Takehiro Tomiyasu

Takehiro Tomiyasu starts again at left back for Arsenal as they travel to St. Mary's to take on Southampton in the Premier League.

The Japan international has generally been preferred to Kieran Tierney over the past few weeks and controversially gets the nod yet again in the absence of Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Aside from that Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka have overcome injury concerns to make the starting XI after both being doubts in the build up.

Aside from that it's an unchanged line up for Arsenal from their 1-0 win over Leeds United at Elland Road last week.

Arsenal starting XI vs Southampton - Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Partey; Xhaka, Odegaard; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.
