Southampton have not beaten a top-six team in the league this season but that may change when they face Arsenal at St Mary's.

The points should be more important to the Gunners, who need to win their remaining four games to maximise hopes of a top-four finish.

Saints showed a good attitude during a 0-0 draw at Liverpool on Sunday and can cause problems for an Arsenal side who have struggled on their travels this year.

Recommendation
Southampton draw no bet
