Team Analysis
Arsenal is in strong form, coming off recent victories against Leicester City in the Premier League and PSG in the Champions League. Despite having several players, including Tomiyasu, Zinchenko, Tierney, and Odegaard, in the infirmary, Arsenal has shown resilience. They are challenging for the Premier League title and have been solid at home, making them favorites in this matchup.
Southampton faces significant challenges this season and is widely considered a candidate for relegation. They recently lost to Bournemouth and are dealing with injuries to key players like Bazunu, Smallbone, and Sulemana, alongside a suspension for Stevens. The team lacks the depth to compete at the top level, and rumors about Russell Martin's possible dismissal reflect their struggles.
Head-to-Head
Arsenal has surprisingly not won any of their last three meetings against Southampton. However, they remain unbeaten in the last 16 Premier League home games against the Saints. The last encounter at the Emirates ended in a 3-3 draw, with Arsenal scoring in the final minutes to level the match.
Prediction
Arsenal is expected to dominate this encounter at the Emirates. With Southampton's defensive vulnerabilities, Arsenal is predicted to score over 2.5 goals. Given Arsenal's strong home record and current form, the match is likely to end in a decisive victory for the Gunners, potentially with a scoreline of 5-0. The number of corners is expected to be under 10.5, aligning with Arsenal's recent home game trends.
Pick: Over 2.5 goals
