Southampton vs Arsenal 23.10.2022

Southampton gave themselves a lifeline with a crucial 1-0 win away at Bournemouth. This followed a credible 1-1 draw with West Ham the previous match which had stopped the bleeding having lost four league matches on the trot prior that had seen them slide towards the red zone. They will be hoping to continue their improvement here but it will not be an easy task against the league leaders.

Arsenal look unstoppable at the moment. The stars are aligning for them and they seem to be making their most serious attempt at winning the league title in over a decade. They rode their luck last time out at Elland Road as the VAR came to their rescue right at the death to overturn a penalty and red card that had been awarded against them. The Gunners opened up a four-point cushion at the top after 2nd placed Man City lost to Liverpool last weekend and they will look to maintain that here.

The Londoners have dominated possession as they like to do in most of their matches and they apply a lot of pressure on defences which tends to see their opponents resort to physical play. We expect the same to replicate here and we are backing Southampton to get more bookings in this game
