Premier League: Arsenal v Southampton betting preview, tip and team news

2.05pm Sunday

Ralph Hasenhuttl's seemingly magic touch is diminishing at Southampton and they are unlikely to turn their fortunes around at the Emirates.

The Gunners are a different beast on home soil, where they have won ten of their 13 league matches this term, sinking Tottenham and Chelsea and holding Liverpool.

Laurent Koscielny's injury is a blow but the Saints' attacking unit does not look strong enough to take advantage while Arsenal will have more firepower going forwards with Alexandre Lacazette back in their ranks.

Hasenhuttl's men have one win in five matches in all competitions and could start sluggishly, having not played for two weeks.

Recommendation
Arsenal-Arsenal double result
1pt 27-20 Coral, Ladbrokes
