As Arsenal prepare to face Southampton on Friday night, we have tried to call their predicted lineup for the clash.

Despite dropping another two points against West Ham United, we expect Mikel Arteta to make just 2 changes to his side.

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Southampton

After perhaps being at fault for letting Jarrod Bowen’s equaliser in on Sunday, Aaron Ramsdale, who will start in our Arsenal predicted lineup against Southampton will be raring to right his wrongs.

At right-back, Ben White is expected to keep his place in the side, as he continues to have an impressive season playing out of position.

Rob Holding is likely to start proceedings once again, considering Mikel Arteta told Football.London that William Saliba is ‘not progressing’ as quickly as hoped.

Alongside the Englishman is set to be Gabriel Magalhaes in our Arsenal predicted lineup against Southampton.

Now, at left-back, Mikel Arteta maintained Oleksandr Zinchenko’s return from injury also remains uncertain, which means Kieran Tierney could play yet again to avoid taking an injury risk.

Considering an injury to Thomas Partey would really affect the Gunners in their title-decider against Manchester City, Jorginho could be given a chance against the Saints.

Right in front of the Italian international is set to be Granit Xhaka.

And of course, it goes without saying that Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard will retain his place in our predicted lineup against Southampton.

Especially after getting a goal and a pre-assist under his belt against West Ham.

Bukayo Saka’s penalty miss does not mean he is not arguably his boyhood club’s best player and it is improbable that he gets dropped.

Considering Mikel Arteta said that Arsenal are still managing Gabriel Jesus’ return from injury, the one and only change could see Leandro Trossard start in our predicted lineup against Ruben Selles’ side.

Described as ‘unreal’ by Rio Ferdinand, as relayed by the Daily Mail, the Belgian international has been a breath of fresh air since his switch to the Emirates Stadium.

While at left-wing, the in-form Gabriel Martinelli is expected to start.
