Arsenal travel to Southampton on Saturday afternoon in desperate need of a win to keep their top four hopes alive. Mikel Arteta’s side are currently fifth, three points behind fourth placed Tottenham.
The Gunners need to get back to winning ways after faltering of late with back to back defeats to Crystal Palace and Brighton respectively. And they could be six points behind Spurs by the time they kick-off at St Mary’s with their north London rivals hosting Brighton earlier in the day.
Southampton have not been in the best of form themselves, they’ve not won a Premier League game since February and were thrashed 6-0 by Chelsea last time out. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side also have little to play for with the Saints 12 points clear of the relegation zone, and with no realistic chance of making a late run for a European spot.
