A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 6th and 19th place in the table will show on the pitch.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Arsenal form and stats
12 points is a decent return from 6 Premier League games here at Emirates Stadium for Arsenal. The data says 3 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
In their previous game, the manager Unai Emery led his Arsenal to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Leicester City. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Emirates Stadium. A 1-1 draw away in the Europa League before that, with Vitoria Guimaraes the opponent.
A decent goal production from Arsenal in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 6 league matches. Arsenal have conceded 8 in these home matches.
Southampton form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (29) in Premier League, on their Premier League travels is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. Three has not been a lucky number for Southampton as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Wolverhampton Wanderers match.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Everton with 1-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Manchester City wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
Southampton find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 6 goals from 6 away fixtures in the league. As opposed to that, Southampton have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Arsenal 5 wins, 2 draws and Southampton 3 victories. As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
