ARS vs SOU Dream11: Arsenal will be looking to ease the pressure on under-fire manager Mikel Arteta when they welcome high-flying Southampton to the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday. Arsenal’s dismal run of form continued on Sunday night as a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang own goal saw them fall to a 0-1 loss at home to Burnley. It was the Gunners’ fourth home league defeat in a row, the first time this has happened in 61 years and with high flying Southampton the latest visitors to North London, Mikel Arteta’s men have no time to rest on their laurels. The Saints in comparison, are flying after a 2-0 win over Sheffield Utd at the weekend saw them move into the UEFA Champions League places. Unlike Mikel Arteta, Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has the fortune of no injuries and the ability to choose a settled starting XI.

ARS vs SOU Today Match Prediction:
Southampton may never get a better chance to end their woeful away record against Arsenal than this match, with the Gunners in disarray and struggling to pick up a point or even score a goal at the Emirates right now. Arteta’s side still have the quality to turn that dreadful form around this season, but it will be a big ask for them to do that against an in-form Southampton side full of confidence at the moment. We predict a 2-1 win for the Saints in the ARS vs SOU Today Match Prediction .
