Arsenal preview: Won last three in league and cup
Arsenal secured a dramatic 4-2 victory over Leicester City last weekend but needed two stoppage-time goals to win against their newly-promoted guests.

Martin Odegaard, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney look set to miss the Southampton game through injury.

Southampton preview: Without a league win this season
The Saints lost 3-1 at Bournemouth on Monday night as their dreadful start to the season continued.
The Cherries went 3-0 up in this game, leaving Southampton with a mountain to climb in the second half. The Saints are struggling for goals as well as looking dodgy at the back, all of which points towards the likelihood of relegation this season.
Gavin Bazunu, Kamaldeen Sulemana and William Smallbone could miss the trip to the capital through injury but Jack Stephens returns to the side following a suspension.
Predicted lineup: Ramsdale (GK), Taylor, Bednarek, Sugawara, Harwood-Bellis, Fraser, Downes, Ugochukwu, Dibling, Fernandes & Cornet

Player to watch: Bukayo Saka
Bukayo Saka probably hasn't scored as many league goals so far this season then most Arsenal fans would have hoped for but the England international has been in great creative form.
Saka has provided five assists in his opening six appearances in the Premier League this season, scoring one goal, and we're backing the Arsenal star to put in another impressive performance against a poor Southampton side on Saturday.
Saka has five assists in Arsenal's opening six league games
If Saka doesn't score on Saturday then the chances are he will create a goal or two, which is why he is our player to watch against Southampton.
