Arsenal Preview and News
For Arsenal, this game comes after a heartbreaking moment – the defeat against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final. Mikel Arteta’s team underperformed and had one of its worst games of the season. They didn’t do much and suffered a 0-2 defeat at Wembley.
What could Arteta change for the next game? Many players were disappointed against Man City – that’s the truth. Riccardo Calafiori could return in the starting eleven while Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus are all options for the attacks. Surely Kepa’s choice would be questionable after his shaky performance against City.
The Gunners’ fans are worried about Bukayo Saka’s performance against Manchester City in the final. One of the team’s biggest stars, Saka, had a very poor game against the Cityzens. Now he has to step up against Southampton – his team will need him.
Head-to-Head Matches
Arsenal have a significant advantage in their head-to-head record against Southampton. The London giants have won 54 of the games, compared to Southampton’s 23 wins. There are 30 draws between these two teams as well.
