    FT: Arsenal 3-3 Southampton. WOW. Where to start... Great comeback from Arteta's men, scraping a point which could prove vital in the title race. Southampton will be disappointed with that one after the were leading for the most part, but a fair result after Arsenal dominated the majority of the game. What a whirlwind.

    Both sides coming out here in London, Arsenal in their standard home kit, while Saints are donning their bluey mix of a design.
  • PRVW
    Atmosphere building here at The Emirates with less than a quarter of an hour left to go before kick-off.
  • PRVW
    Gunners with just the two changes from last week's outing at the London Stadium - Tierney and Xhaka making way for Zinchenko and Vieira.
  • PRVW
    Saints with three changes from their last outing against Crystal Palace - Maitland-Niles, Sulemana and Aribo OUT for Perraud, Elyounoussi and Armstrong.
  • PRVW
    Arsenal starting 11 CONFIRMED: Ramsdale, White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Partey, Vieira, Odegaard, Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.
  • PRVW
    Southampton starting 11 CONFIRMED: Bazunu, Walker-Peters, Bella-Kotchap, Bednarek, Perraud, Lavia, Ward-Prowse, Elyounoussi, Walcott, Armstrong.
  • PRVW
    The Gunners come into this one off the back of being pegged back to a 2-2 draw away to West Ham last weekend, while Saints have lost four of their last five in the league.
  • PRVW
    Southampton POSSIBLE line-up: Bazunu; Perraud, Bednarek, Bella-Kotchap, Walker-Peters; Djenepo, Ward-Prowse, Lavia, Sulemana; Alcaraz, Onuachu
  • PRVW
    Arsenal POSSIBLE line-up: Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Thomas, Odegaard; Martinelli, Jesus, Saka
  • PRVW
    Without further ado, let's take a look at how the side's may be lining up tonight...
  • PRVW
    Southampton come into this one in the worst possible position, sitting rock bottom of the English top flight. They're four points off safety and I'm sure would take any points-bearing result today.
  • PRVW
    Arteta's side are currently four points clear of City, but have played one more than Guardiola's men. There's also the title-decider to come at the Etihad on the 26th...
  • PRVW
    Game's don't get bigger than this, with Arsenal having to win it to stay in the title race, while Saints are desperate to put up a fight for their survival.
