Match Preview

While not as explosive in the final third as Liverpool and Man City, Arsenal remain among the leading contenders to win the Premier League title this term. They showed every ounce of their character last weekend, recovering after throwing away a 2-0 advantage to claim maximum points against Leicester City.

Southampton arrive in North London with some poor form to overcome this term. The Saints are still waiting for their first win since gaining promotion back to the top-flight, but their chances of survival already look incredibly low based on the outright odds available.

Arsenal’s home record in this fixture is incredibly strong, avoiding defeat in their last 28. In fact, the Gunners are only currently on a longer unbeaten home sequence against Fulham in the top-flight. However, it could be worth mentioning that the Saints are unbeaten in their last three matches against the Gunners.

The Saints have really struggled in the capital, losing on 82 of their 139 Premier League visit to London. Their 59% loss rate is the highest of any side that has played over 100 matches in the capital. Arsenal also come into the weekend after going 40 without defeat in the Premier League in home matches against newly promoted sides.
