  • 99'
    FT: Arsenal 3-1 Southampton. It was complete dominance from the Gunners from the first minute. Arteta's men controlled the game with confidence, but lacked the finishing touch. Their lack of composure in front of goal proved costly as the Saints took a shocking lead at the 55' with Cameron Archer. Arsenal were quick to react, however, scoring with Kai Havertz just three minutes later. Super-sub Martinelli doubled the lead just ten minutes later, but it was Saka that made it game over in the end.

Start of match

  • PRVW
    Getting closer to kick off.....
  • PRVW
    First Premier League start for Raheem Sterling with Arsenal! Who's excited?
  • PRVW
    On the bench for Martin: McCarthy, Taylot, Bree, Ugochukwu, Lallana, Archer, Brereton Diaz, Armstrong, Onuachu.
  • PRVW
    Here's how the Saints line up: Ramsdale, Sugawara, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Walker-Peters, Manning, Downes; Aribo, Dibling, Fernandes; Stewart.
  • PRVW
    On the bench for Arteta: Neto, Lewis-Skelly, Tomiyasu, Kiwior, Merino, Nwaneri, Martinelli, Trossard, Butler-Oyedeji.
  • PRVW
    Here's how the Gunners line up: Raya; Partey, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Jorginho, Rice, Saka, Sterling; Havertz, Jesus.
  • PRVW
    Lineups have landedddddddddddddddddddd!!!!!!
  • PRVW
    So here's how Southampton could line up: Ramsdale; Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Taylor Sugawara; Downes, Aribo; Lallana, Fernandes, Archer; Brereton Diaz.
  • PRVW
    Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale makes his return to the Emirates after losing out the battle for a starting place against David Raya. The Englishman has emphasised that there is no bad blood following his disappointing exit, and is looking forward to facing his old team mates.
  • PRVW
    For the Saints, Russell Martin's men count the absences of Gavin Bazunu, Kamaldeen Sulemana, Jack Stephens and William Smallbone who seem far from making their returns any time soon.
  • PRVW
    So here's how Arsenal could line up: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Partey; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli; Havertz.
  • PRVW
    Oleksandr Zinchenko and skipper Martin Odegaard are still out for the Gunners.
  • PRVW
    Takehiro Tomiyasu also he pushes to make his first appearance of the season, while Mikel Merino is in the frame to get his first Premier League minutes against Saints, after making his long-awaited return against PSG.
  • PRVW
    Ben White and Jurrien Timber are in contention to feature for Arsenal, despite recent injury scares. White missed the games against PSG and Leicester, while Timber saw 45 minutes of action against the Parisians.
  • PRVW
    It's time to look at some possible lineups!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • PRVW
    Southampton have not been able to taste victory in the 24 times they've visited the Emirates, drawing 8 times and losing 16, but will they be able to turn that around this afternoon?
  • PRVW
    That said, the Saints have a recent history of causing trouble to Arsenal. Their last three encounters ended in draws, including their latest, which saw them drawing in a thrilling 3-3 game, as Saka rescued a point for his club.
  • PRVW
    Arsenal are clear winners in the history of this clash, registering 53 victories. Southampton managed less than half, triumphing 23 times against the Gunners. The two teams levelled in 30 occasions.
  • PRVW
    Let's have a look at the head to head record of the two sides!
  • PRVW
    So who will be leaving the Emirates victourious? Any predicions for this one?
  • PRVW
    Going into the match, Arteta's men will look to keep a hold of the second place, or even better, hope for a slip-up from the Reds to overtake them at the top of the English flight. On the other hand, the Saints will aim to bag as many points as possible to escape the relegation zone.
  • PRVW
    As things stands, the Gunners sit in second place, trailing by one point from league-leaders Liverpool. Meanwhile, Southampton find themselves in 19th place, level on points with bottom-placed Wolves.
