Arsenal have the chance to add breathing space between themselves and Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table this evening when they welcome Southampton to the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners are only four points above their title rivals after slipping to two consecutive 2-2 draws against Liverpool and West Ham. Victory over the bottom-of-the-table side would see them stretch their lead to seven points before Wednesday's 'final' between the two.
Mikel Arteta's side have been the victim of a number of injury concerns at the worst possible time in recent weeks. William Saliba has missed the last four games after sustaining a back injury in the Europa League defeat to Sporting CP whilst Oleksandr Zinchenko was absent from the trip to West Ham.
