Arsenal Preview – Can Arsenal turn things around?
Wednesday night is crunch time for Arsenal and manager, Mikel Arteta, as they prepare for the visit of Southampton in what has become a ‘must-win’ match for The Gunners as they find themselves in the bottom half of the Premier League in 15th place.
Following four defeats out of their last five matches along with gaining just one win out of their last eight matches overall, the pressure on Arsenal to perform here on Wednesday has intensified as recent losses to Aston Villa, Wolves, Tottenham and Burnley haven’t done them any favours.
Even Arsenal’s previously fortress-like Emirates Stadium has been breached on numerous occasions already this season as the hosts have lost their last four matches on the trot with defeats to Leicester City, Aston Villa, Wolves and Burnley.
Southampton Preview – Can Saints take advantage?
Having registered recent back-to-back wins in the Premier League with victories over Brighton and Sheffield United, Wednesday’s visitors, Southampton, will sense that Arsenal could be here for the taking and will play with freedom without restrictions as confidence is definitely on the side of the south coast club.
Indeed, Southampton have suffered just the one defeat out of their last 10 matches overall in the top flight which was a narrow 3-2 loss at home to Manchester United but Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side have also picked up seven wins during this successful period.
In addition, The Saints bring a solid five-match unbeaten run on the road down to the nation’s capital for this clash against Arsenal while the bigger picture shows that Southampton have lost just one of their last 11 away matches.
