Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have been in rotten form as of late, but they will have the chance to put things right on Saturday as they face off against Southampton.
The Gunners may have lost three of their last four matches, but you have to make them favourites here against a Southampton side that have won just three league matches all season.
However, as we’ve seen so many times, the London club never make things easy for themselves, and if Arteta’s side are going to win here, the manager has to pick the right team.
With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Arsenal’s starting XI for this one.
We think that Mikel Arteta will make two changes to the side that lost to Everton last week.
The back four remains the same, but there is a change in midfield.
Granit Xhaka drops out after his return from injury against the Toffees, with Albert Sambi Lokonga coming in.
Emile Smith Rowe also comes back into the side, and with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang reportedly out of this game, Gabriel Martinelli moves up top after Alexandre Lacazette’s poor performance at Goodison Park.
