Arsenal vs Southampton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Ian John | in Premier League Predictions
Our next Premier League match prediction involves high-flying Arsenal, taking on strugglers Southampton at the Emirates Stadium. Will the Gunners have too much firepower for the flagging Saints, or can the visitors go marching back to St Mary’s with a shock three points in their pocket?
Mikel Arteta’s Gunners have had a solid start to their league campaign. They are third in the table, level on points with Manchester City and just a point behind Liverpool. Along with Manchester City, they are the only two remaining unbeaten teams in the division and look well set for another strong campaign. A win here is key especially with tricky games to come against Liverpool, Newcastle and Chelsea in the next few weeks.
In contrast to Arsenal’s fast start, Russell Martin’s Saints have not won any of their six games, drawing just one to sit 19th in the table. Another season of struggle beckons for the Saints who have scored just three league goals in their six games so far, the fewest of any team in the Premier League. With games against Man City and Liverpool in their next five league games, this is the start of a tough spell for the south-coast side.

Arsenal - Southampton: Form Analysis
Arsenal came into this game after making a very solid start to the season. Unbeaten in all competitions since the start of the campaign, the Gunners have won four of their six league games, drawing the other two (away to Manchester City and at home to Brighton).
They warmed up for this game with a last-gasp 4-2 victory over Leicester City last weekend, scoring twice in added time to secure a much-needed victory over the Foxes. They then welcomed Paris St. Germain to the Champions League in midweek and emerged with a fantastic 2-0 victory over the French Champions.
Kai Havertz has been a key man for Arsenal.
The German international has scored five goals in nine games in all competitions this season in a withdrawn central-striking role. He will certainly be one of many players the Southampton defenders must watch closely.
Saints manager Russell Martin was angry at his team’s performance in their recent 3-1 defeat to Bournemouth. That loss was Southampton's fifth in six games in the Premier League, with their only point coming in a 1-1 home draw to Ipswich Town the week before.
The manager will be under pressure to get results quickly, but doing so against Arsenal at the Emirates looks to be an incredibly difficult task. Especially for a team that has scored just three goals in the league this season.

Arsenal & Southampton Squad Analysis
Mikel Arteta will have to juggle his squad for this game with a number of players still unavailable, with the defence most notably hit. Definitely out for this game are Kieran Tierney, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Martin Odegaard and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Ben White and Jurrien Timber are rated 50/50 chances for the game.
Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka, who both scored against Paris St Germain, will be amongst the key players for Arsenal as they seek to break down the Southampton defence. However, as important for the Gunners has been the form of central defensive duo William Saliba and Gabriel and goalkeeper David Raya.
The ex-Brentford keeper is enjoying a fantastic season for Arsenal since signing on a permanent deal in the summer.
Russell Martin doesn’t have as many injuries as his Arsenal counterpart, but the players that are out are big misses for the struggling Saints.
Goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu remains a long-term injury absentee and he is not due to return to fitness until early 2025. Kamaldeen Sulemana is another who is out for a while, at least until November according to reports.
Defender Jack Stephens, who is suspended, will also miss this game, while midfielder Will Smallbone has a thigh issue that will likely rule him out for two to three weeks.
