Arsenal vs Southampton 21.04.2023

Arsenal are on the push to win the Premier League after 20 years in 2003/2004 season where they had a whopping 90 points and not losing a single match. With Manchester City hot on their tails, they cannot afford a loss at the Emirates Stadium given their 2-2 draw against West Ham over the weekend.

Bottom-place Southampton will have their work cut out as they face first-placed Arsenal. The Saints have had a lackluster season to put things mildly. They are in the relegation zone and cannot seem to win a game. They will need a miracle to win against Arsenal as they can’t seem to find the back of the net lately.

It will probably be another sad evening for Rubén Sellés men as they travel to the Emirates Stadium given their current form. Mikel Arteta’s men on the other hand should easily dispatch the Saints and all but seal their fate for relegation.
