Latest Arsenal vs Southampton team news
Mikel Arteta's defensive crisis at Arsenal continues as Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf injury), Kieran Tierney (hamstring), and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) are all expected to miss the upcoming match. Ben White (groin) and Jurrien Timber (muscle) are also new doubtful cases. Timber only played one half in the win against PSG, where Mikel Merino made his debut after a strange injury. Merino is likely to start in place of Thomas Partey this weekend.
Arsenal will also be without captain Martin Odegaard (ankle), but his replacement, Kai Havertz, could shine. Havertz has the chance to become the first Arsenal player to score in five consecutive Premier League games at the Emirates Stadium since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in 2019.
Meanwhile, Southampton also faced difficulties with Jack Stephens receiving a further two-match ban for abusive language, bringing his total suspension to five. Will Smallbone is likely to return from a thigh injury for the North London game, but Gavin Bazunu (Achilles tendon) and Kamaldeen Sulemana (ankle) are still unavailable.
Former Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale will become the ninth goalkeeper to have faced Arsenal in the Premier League. However, of the previous eight, only Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez kept a clean sheet in his first match against his former club in 2020.
Latest predicted lineups for Arsenal vs Southampton
Arsenal:

Latest Arsenal vs Southampton football match preview
While PSG have maintained their domestic dominance after the Kylian Mbappe era, the French side lacked attacking creativity in their match against Arsenal at the Emirates, where two mistakes by goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma created opportunities for the home side. Donnarumma failed to save Leandro Trossard's cross, allowing Kai Havertz to score. Following that, Bukayo Saka converted a free-kick, putting PSG in a difficult position.
Despite usually being restrained after victories, Mikel Arteta showed a relaxed and cheerful demeanor as Arsenal secured their third consecutive home win, a much easier victory than their earlier nail-biting win against Leicester City. The Leicester victory propelled Arsenal to third place, just one point behind Liverpool and Manchester City, and they have been unbeaten in 15 matches across all competitions since being knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich.
Arsenal are now close to reaching the milestone of 400 home wins in the Premier League, a feat only achieved by Manchester United. Meanwhile, Southampton have a poor record with 246 away defeats in the Premier League and are near the bottom of the table. Manager Russell Martin could face the risk of being sacked if the team continues to lose.
Southampton failed to score in their last match against Bournemouth, where they conceded three goals before scoring one. Their chance conversion rate is a mere 4.4%, the lowest in the Premier League. Despite their recent three-match unbeaten run against Arsenal, the visitors haven't won at the Emirates Stadium since 1987. Given Arsenal's lack of attacking prowess, their solid defense is likely to keep a clean sheet, and they are likely to find a way to score consistently in this match.
