Arsenal News and Form – Can the Gunners sink Southampton?

The Gunners are badly in need of a change of fortunes. They have failed to get a win in any of their last four league games and have banked only one in their last six. They are already eight points outside of the top four. Arsenal hold an unbeaten W3 D3 record on home soil in this season’s campaign but they have drawn their last two there. Those were results against Crystal Palace and Wolves, games in which Arsenal threw away leads in.

Arsenal have averaged 1.8 goals per home game this season, but they have only produced one home clean sheet. This game will continue a trend of Arsenal not having hosted any of the big so far this season. Two-thirds of games at the Emirates this season have made it over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in all but one. But the recent trend in arsenal’s league games is a low-scoring affair.

There have been under 2.5 goals in five of Arsenal’s last six Premier League games. All four league victories that Arsenal have recorded this season have been by a one-goal margin only. Arsenal have been leading at the break in half of their home games this season. They have opened the scoring in four of their six fixtures at the Emirates, including in each of their last three played there.

Southampton News and Form – Can the Saints land a win at the Emirates?

Things are looking very dire for Southampton at the moment. They have claimed just one point from their last seven league games and are stuck in the relegation zone. As a positive though, their two league wins recorded this season have been away from home. In their last EPL road game, the Saints produced a strong performance at Man City but came away empty-handed in a 2-1 loss.

The saints have taken one point from their last three away games, that coming in a draw at Wolves. The two defeats were, incidentally, both by a 2-1 scoreline. Southampton are on a five-match scoring streak on their travels, which is something to note as well. Of the league goals that they put on the board in this campaign, 73% of them have come in the second half of fixtures. It has been just three first-half goals by the Saints this season.

Just four times Southampton have opened the scoring in a game this season. They have been losing at both half time and full time in all but two of their last seven league games. Over 2.5 goals has cropped up in 6 of Southampton’s last 7 matches. Only two teams have scored fewer league goals than Southampton have done this season, and the visitors also have the worst defensive record to boot.
