To most people's surprise, Arsenal have led the way for a large part of the season as they seek their first Premier League title since 2004. Back-to-back draws from two goal advantages however have some questioning their title credentials. Southampton meanwhile are in far more obvious turmoil. Bottom of the league and having lost 4 of their last 5 games, things need to change if the Saints want to avoid being cut adrift at the bottom of the table.
Mikel Arteta can be immensely proud of his players' efforts so far this season, but cracks are starting to appear in their surprise title challenge. Injuries to the likes of William Saliba have exposed frailties in squad depth, with Rob Holding a willing but limited deputy at the back. Similarly, the absence of Oleksandr Zinchenko has been tough to take. The Gunners have let two-goal leads slip in both their last two games, understandably against Liverpool at Anfield, but then more surprisingly against West Ham. In fairness both games could have gone a different way had late chances been taken or penalties converted. Regardless, against Southampton, you would expect Arsenal's attacking talent to shine through with the likes of Bakayo Saka and Martin Odegaard two of the biggest stars of this season.
Arteta may be persuaded however to rest some of the key players considering the impending clash with second-place Manchester City on Wednesday which many are declaring a title decider. But fail to beat Southampton and it will be even harder to arrive at the Etihad low on confidence.
With only 23 points even a win wouldn't lift Southampton out of the relegation zone, but it would move them to one point of safety (albeit with the other sides still to play). Ruben Selles' first managerial job is proving to be quite the challenge and in last week's 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace, some fans started to question his methods with his use of midfielder Joe Aribo as a makeshift striker, when natural attackers were on the bench proving unsuccessful. You can't blame Selles for trying something new as Southampton are the joint lowest scorers in the competition. In dead ball specialist James Ward Prowse, the Saints at least have a threat from set pieces. Theo Walcott will receive a warm welcome from a club he gave 12 years to, but Arsenal fans will hope it is not a happy return.
Both teams will be giving it absolutely everything in a game that has high stakes at both ends of the table. Don't skip the Arsenal vs Southampton live stream.
