Arsenal will face Southampton in the Premier League this weekend, while Tottenham Hotspur will take on Stoke City.
Former Manchester United and Liverpool striker Michael Owen has predicted on Betvictor.com that Arsenal will win against Southampton this weekend.
Arsenal will take on Southampton at home in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Owen has backed the Gunners to pick up all three points from the game at the Emirates Stadium in North London.
“I’m looking forward to seeing Arsenal’s new signings in action and I expect the Gunners to have too much for the Saints despite the fact that the visitors have only lost one of the last six games between the sides,” Owen wrote on Betvictor.com.
“The Saints have kept three successive clean sheets against Arsene Wenger’s side and a fourth would see the natives getting very restless at the Emirates.”
A footnote added: “Michael’s recommendation: Arsenal halftime/fulltime at 6/4.”
Arsenal are a much better team than Southampton and also have home advantage for this weekend’s encounter.
The Gunners should be able to register a pretty comfortable victory over the Saints at the Emirates.
An early goal for Southampton could make things tricky for Arsene Wenger’s side, but the home team have enough quality to stage a successful comeback.
Arsenal’s North London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, are also in action this weekend.
Tottenham will face Stoke City away from home at the Bet365 Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Former Stoke striker Owen believes that the match between the Potters and Spurs will end in a draw.
“Spurs were magnificent in the corresponding fixture last season but they have not quite hit the same heights so far this season and they may have to settle for a draw against the Potters,” Owen wrote on Betvictor.com.
“Wilfried Bony has scored in both games against the north London club and I think he could be a very good acquisition for Mark Hughes’ side.”
A footnote added: “Michael’s recommendation: Game to finish in a draw at 5/2.”
Stoke have not made a bright start to the season, but the Potters do have home advantage for this weekend’s match.
Tottenham will head into the game as favourites, and it is hard to see Mauricio Pochettino’s side drop all three points.
A draw is possible, but only if Stoke score opening goal of the match.
