It’s been 33 years since Soton’s last success on Emirates in Premier League duels. In 1987, it happened that the saints passed the gunboats. On Wednesday night, in London, on Emirates, Arsenal receives the visit of the saints from Soton, in the 13th round of the Premier League.
Arsenal London: current form, latest results, statistics
The situation of the gunners is very difficult, and the crisis has deepened after the game played at the end of last week. That match was also played at home, where Burnley managed to overcome his outsider status and thus, to get all the points due to the 1-0 victory. For the Londoners, it was the fifth consecutive duel they play in the domestic championship and they fail to win it. During all this time they were defeated four times and ended in a draw with Leeds, 0-0. That threw them only 15, with 13 points, closer to the relegation zone.
- Probable team: Leno – Maitland-Niles, Holding, Magalhaes, Tierney – Ceballos, Elneny – Pepe, Willian, Saka – Aubameyang
- Injured: Thomas Partey
- Suspended: Hector Bellerin, Granit Xhaka
Southampton: current form, latest results, statistics
Unexpectedly good performance from Soton to this point of the competition. After 12 matches played by the Saints, they occupy the fourth place, and if the Premier League is interrupted, then they will catch the Champions League groups. The form of the moments is a good one, proof of the last two matches that preceded the failure with United (2-3). He managed to beat Brighton 2-1, in an away match, and a few days ago he managed to get all the points after a duel with Sheffield United, which he defeated by a score of no more.
- Probable team: McCarthy – Walker-Pieters, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Bertrand – Walcott, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong – Adams
Arsenal London vs Southampton Picks
Many years have passed since Soton’s last victory in the Emirates matches in a Premier League game. The form is a better one, and on Wednesday I meet an Arsenal team that leaves much to be desired. It is these mistakes from the Londoners’ defense that I expect to reappear, and at the end of the game to have at least three successes.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.77
