Arsenal Preview – Can Gunners bounce back?
Arsenal will be keen to halt their recent losing streak on Saturday when they play host to Southampton at the Emirates Stadium after losing three of their last four games in the Premier League in what has been a tough run of fixtures.
Defeats to Liverpool, Manchester United and Everton have seen Mikel Arteta’s side lose ground on the top five pack but all three points today against a struggling Southampton outfit could fire the Gunners up into the top five at the expense of their north London rivals, Tottenham.
Results at home continue to impress though for Arsenal, who have won five out of their last six games at the Emirates Stadium, scoring 2 goals or more in four of these six games with midfielder, Smith-Rowe, scoring four goals in his last six games, being the major contributor.
Southampton Preview – Can Saints pull away from bottom three?
Although they hold a comfortable looking six-point cushion above the relegation zone in the Premier League, Saturday’s visitors, Southampton, know that this situation can change very quickly in the top flight and having failed to win any of their last four matches, the south coast club continue to look nervously over their shoulders.
Defeats to Norwich City and Liverpool (both away from home) have outweighed the points that Saints have picked up recently thanks to draws with Leicester City and Brighton, both of which were achieved at their St Mary’s Stadium.
The bigger picture reveals Southampton have managed to win just three out of their last 17 matches in the Premier League, two of which were at home, while results on the road have been poor; Saints have won just one of their last 12 matches on their travels, losing nine of these games.
