Southampton vs. Arsenal: Preview and betting tips

Arsenal will still be the Premier League’s first team after the weekend, that much is now clear. But on Sunday, they will be fighting for the lead going into the next round. What to expect from his match with Southampton and what to bet on?

Southampton’s run of form has stalled after a decent start to the season, but last week they broke a run of five games without a win, which has kept them out of the relegation zone. However, from 14th place, they are just two points behind 18th-placed Wolverhampton.

On the other hand, the young Arsenal with Mikel Arteta continues to lead the whole league, even by four points after Liverpool’s win over the Citizens a week ago. It lost only in the defeat at Old Trafford, otherwise it beat Tottenham or Liverpool.

The mainstay of the home side is Che Adams, the Scottish international striker has scored five times and assisted once even with the cup. Captain and modern-day club icon James Ward-Prowse has not yet found his goal-saliva, with one goal and an assist each.

The visitors are relying on Gabriel Jesus after his arrival from Manchester City, the Brazilian striker has scored five times and assisted five times. Bukayo Saka, who has scored four of the Gunners’ last six goals, has also come into his own.

Southampton are looking mainly towards attack, scoring only three times in their last six games.

And it will be tough against Arsenal because the Gunners have the best defence after Newcastle. They have only cashed in ten times, or an average of once per game.

Considering the terrible form of Southampton’s attack and the fact that the Gunners haven’t scored in three games, I think the visitors will win.
