Southampton
- Arsenal could have Theo Walcott back for this game after he returned to full training, but in all likelihood he will only feature from the bench.
- Mathieu Flamini is suspended, so Mikel Arteta will start in central midfield.
- Aaron Ramsey will play alongside him, who himself missed a game for Wales with a hamstring injury.
- Guly Do Prado is Southampton's only injury worry ahead of the trip to the Emirates.
- It could be the same eleven that thrashed Hull last time out, but Pablo Osvaldo will be hoping for a recall.
- If he does come back in it will likely be James Ward-Prowse who drops out.
proud to giroud. he is my motm
CL game nxt we need to stay focused
Authentic, where are you ?
Very even game. Boruc's idiocy cost Southampton the game. He should really know better after the goal Begovic scored against him
two goals plus a clean sheet
COYG
Ramsey's backheel shot would be Goal of the Season if It went in
will we see walcott today come on boys
Boruc you w***...
15 mins delay
2hrs to go cant wait
start of the season was great for Saints because no one expected them to play so well. I think Arsenal will play like against Liverpool and will win. Go GUNNERS!!!
must win !! to stay at top !! #COYG
well.. lets wait and see then y'all Southamptoneers and Spudders!! lets see who is Southampton is going to shock! LOL
Southampton will shock arsenal , pocchetino is master which espanyol should never should have let go of.
i see Spurs fans have given me thumbs down, haha you'll always be Europa League category, suck on it!
@albgunn Southampton sit 3rd in the league after 11 games on merit, they've been to Old Trafford & came back unbeaten something we failed to do, they went to Anfield bought back all 3 points & kept out the Sas which is no easy feat, Butwhat really impresses me is their pressing game which is probably the best in the league right now.As you say we may have speed but only in certain area's at full back (Gibbs) & on the wings (Walcott Gnabry Chambo). Southampton have Luke Shaw at left back who is no slouch & probably Englands future left back (Sorry Gibbo but this kids amazing) they also have Clyne on the opposite side who is just as quick. I could proably go on & on but i think this is going to be a low scoring affair ... 1-0 to the Arsenal ;)
@Titou14 Southampton surely have come this far with a compact defence, however they dont posses a gameplan to win against teams like Arsenal who can exploit an average team like Southampton in every area, Arsenal have speed, creativity a strong holding midfield and you'd get goals from Ramsey, Cazorla, Giroud, Walcott and Ozil, wouldnt be surprised if Martesacker headed one himself, expect blitz football from Arsenal and a rain of goals, salut
@albgunn Southampton this season are one of the best defensive teams in Europe this season.
this is a 4:1 to mighty Arsenal, Southampton are a good team and pressing high will cost them one too many goals as Arsenal in counter are lethal, Southampton are very weak at the back and most of their work is done defensively, Arsenal will be firing on all cylinders on this game to prove that they mean business this year, Southampton will probably nick a goal, i hear comments here about Arsenal are not strong defensively, OK so where are Southampton good at then to cause problem at emirates? 4:1 salut
Cant wait for the day Gnarby and walcott start on the same team sheet for the AFC Gnarby is one for the future for sure
Arsenal defense is not that good to keep a clean sheet...
Authentic, you are right, Saints have the most impressive defense this season - they haven't conceded more than one goal in a game so far, but every streak comes to an end. That's why I think Arsenal will score at least two goals in this match. COYG!
From what I've seen Szczesny Ozil Ramsey Rosicky Walcott are all fit to play, Podolski however will likely return against Marseille & I'm with Authentic this is by no means an easy game, Southampton have already picked up 3 points from Anfield & came away from Old Trafford unbeaten this season.
I wonder what AW will do @ the back kosh & BFG or will vermallen get another run out Vermallen has been in a losing team 4 out 4 games 2 for Belgium and two for AFC And doesn't look sharp enough
This game wont be easy the saints r defending from the front Something AFC need to learn
In all seriousness are you actually a retard? Saints have the best defensive record in the league. They've conceded 5 goals in 11 games. You are a delusional cunt. This will be a close game.
Ozil Ramsey Rosicky all have flu Szcyney has a ankle problem Flamini is suspended Still waiting on confirmation on walcott & podolski Seems walcott will be back 1st And the saints have a fully fit squad And r capable of a surprise can AFC hold out Find out sat @ 15:00 90mins of pure entertainment
Walcott is back, that means i need to correct my prediction 5-0, Authentic, no but your sister really hurt my dick head, it is really painful believe me
Looks like walcott will be Back
1-1
2-0 Arsenal wins.
goonergunner, did your mother drop you on your head when you were a baby?
3-0
It gonna be hard the saint r on top of their game this season Plus their defence has been really good Arsenal must be clinical hopefully the ill effects of the man u bug is gone Plus hopefully the return of either walcott or podolski Which will be a plus
It's hard game,but Arsenal could win.
