Southampton Preview – Can Saints repeat cup win?
In just a matter of a few days, Southampton play host to Arsenal again at their St Marys Stadium, this time in the Premier League in Tuesday night’s clash on the south coast where Saints will be looking to repeat their FA Cup 1-0 win on the weekend.
Although Southampton have actually managed to win just one out of their last six matches overall in the top flight, Saints fans will be delighted with their side’s progress in this campaign as the hosts occupy a safe mid-table position of 10th place and possess a reasonable looking home record of 5-1-3 14/9.
The Saints lost to both Manchester clubs, City and United, in recent times but they claimed a memorable scalp in the shape of a 1-0 win over Liverpool last time out on the south coast which will give the hosts plenty of confidence for this clash against Arsenal.
Arsenal Preview – Can Arsenal continue momentum?
Despite losing to Southampton in the FA Cup on the weekend, Tuesday night’s visitors, Arsenal, still have every reason to be confident ahead of this Premier League clash on the south coast as The Gunners are unbeaten in their last five matches overall in the top flight.
This improved run of form is certainly a welcome and much-needed boost for the north London club as they’d previously suffered a seven-match period without a win but four wins from their last five matches has seen a resurgence ion form for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Despite winning their last two away matches on the trot though at strugglers, Brighton and West Brom, Arsenal have still yet to convince on their travels this season as their away record of 4-1-4 11/8 indicates, while just four wins from their last 11 matches on the road also gives Southampton a fighting chance here.
