Southampton vs Arsenal: Top Two Tips
Premier League leaders Arsenal make the trip to St Mary's to face Southampton this Sunday. The hosts have started to show signs of improvement of late but face a really tough test this weekend against an Arsenal side in the midst of a winning run.
Contents
Under 2.5 Goals
We're not expecting to see too many goals in this game as four of the last six encounters between Southampton and Arsenal have witnessed under 2.5 goals scored. Four of Southmapotn's last six outings in the Premier League have produced fewer than three goals while Arsenal's last two outings both saw under 2.5 goals scored, so you can see why we're not backing a goal-fest at St Mary's.
Both Teams to Score – No
Only two of the last six head-to-heads between these two clubs have ended with both teams getting on the scoreboard, and we're expecting more of the same on Sunday. Both teams have also only scored in two of the Saints' last six league games as well as in two of Arsenal's last six outings in all competitions, so there is plenty of evidence out there to suggest that we might only see one team score in this Premier League clash, if any at all.

Arsenal looking to maintain their winning run
Southampton made the short trip to Bournemouth for a south coast derby. An early goal from Che Adams put Southampton in front after good work from Perraud and that proved enough for the visitors to secure all 3pts in what was a very tight and tense 90-minutes at the Vitality Stadium. That victory moved Southampton up to 14th in the table and 2pts behind Bournemouth.
Southampton Predicted Lineup: Bazunu, Ćaleta-Car, Perraud, Walker-Peters, Salisu, Elyounoussi, Ward-Prowse, Maitland-Niles, Aribo, Armstrong & Adams
Arsenal made the trip to Leeds in their last Premier League game where a goal from Saka in the 35th-minute handed the visitors a victory. Leeds came close on two occasions with Bamford first having a goal disallowed and then missing a penalty, so the Gunners can feel lucky that they escaped with a win in the end. With Man City and Tottenham losing of late, Arsenal now sit 4pts clear at the top of the Premier League table and look like they could go all the way and win the title for the first time under the guidance of Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, Gabriel, White, Saliba, Xhaka, Partey, Ødegaard, Saka, Jesus & Martinelli
Team News
Southampton: Valentino Livramento, Armel Bella-Kotchap, Romeo Lavia and Kyle Walker-Peters could miss the game due to injury.
Arsenal: Emile Smith Rowe, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Gabriel Martinelli and Mohamed Elneny are the main injury concerns for the visitors.
