Arsenal vs Southampton: Free Betting Tips
We're bringing you our Premier League predictions for Friday night's match-up between Arsenal and Southampton live from the Emirates Stadium. After drawing their last two league games, Arsenal's lead at the top of the table is down to 4pts and Man City have a game in hand on the Londoners, so there is no room for any more slip-ups when Arteta's men take on the division's bottom club, Southampton.
Contents
Arsenal to Win-to-Nil
Our first Arsenal vs Southampton prediction is for a home win and a clean sheet. Arsenal have won three of their last six league meetings with the Saints, claiming a 3-0 victory the last time the pair locked horns in the capital. The Gunners have picked up three wins from their last five league games, while Southampton have lost four of their last six matches and have failed to score in four of those matches as well.
Gabriel Martinelli to Score
Our second Arsenal vs Southampton prediction delves into the Anytime Goalscorer market. Gabriel Martinelli top scores for the Gunners this season with 14 Premier League goals, and we're backing the Brazilian forward to score against Southampton on Friday night. The 21-year-old is in good form right now with 6-goals in his last 10 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions and he goes up against a Southampton defence that hasn't kept a single clean sheet in any of their last five league games.

Arsenal vs Southampton Lineups
Arsenal
Arteta will still be wondering how his team failed to come away with all 3pts at West Ham last time out, after his side found themselves 2-0 up after just 10-minutes. Jesus scored the opening goal in the 7th-minute and it was quickly followed up by a second from Odegaard. West Ham got back into the game via a 33rd-minute penalty and equalised early in the second half, Arsenal had no reply and the game ended in a draw. Tomiyasu, Saliba, Zinchenko and Elneny could all miss Friday's match through injury.
Predicted Lineup – Ramsdale (GK), Tierney, Holding, Gabriel, White, Xhaka, Partey, Ødegaard, Saka, Jesus & Martinelli
Southampton
The Saints suffered another disappointing defeat in their own backyard last weekend when they played host to a rejuvenated Crystal Palace. A brace in the second half from Eze proved enough to down a lacklustre Southampton. Ainsley Maitland-Niles won't be able to play against his parent club on Friday, while the likes of Adams, Salisu, Orsic, Livramento and Larios could miss the game due to injury.
Predicted Lineup – Bazunu (GK), Bednarek, Walker-Peters, Bella-Kotchap, Ward-Prowse, Perraud, Aribo, Alcaraz, Sulemana, Lavia & Walcott

Player to Watch: Gabriel Jesus
Having Jesus back for the end of the season could make all the difference between success and failure for the Gunners.
The little Brazilian forward has netted 4-goals in his last three league games for the club but it's not just scoring goals that he brings to the team. Despite being out for a large part of the season, Jesus has chipped in with 5-assists in the Premier League and only Odegaard, Saka and Trossard have assisted in more goals for the London club this season.
We're backing Jesus to have another good game for Arsenal this Friday and expect to see the Brazilian either on the scoresheet or providing an assist for one of his fellow forwards.
