Arsenal FC at Southampton FC 1/26/21 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

Southampton and Arsenal met a few days ago in the FA Cup and Southampton recorded a slim win and qualified to the next round. The two teams will now meet again in the same venue, but for the Premier League this time. Arsenal look like they are getting better lately but they will miss Aubameyang for some time.

Southampton (8-5-5) did not play a very interesting match against Arsenal but did win thanks to an Arsenal own goal at the 24th minute and moved on to the next round of the FA Cup. In their last EPL match they lost to Leicester by 0-2 on the road but that was their only loss in their last 6 (3-1-2). Southampton are sitting at the 10th spot of the league table with 29 points, scoring 26 and conceding 21 goals in the process. They have a 5-3-1 record at home, losing only to Tottenham, Manchester City and Manchester United.

Arsenal (8-8-3) were not good either in the FA Cup match against Southampton. However, that loss came after a six-match undefeated streak in all competitions (4-1-2). Last week they easily overcame Newcastle by 0-3 at home, keeping the 5th clean sheet in a row. The Gunners are sitting at the 11th spot of the league table with 27 points, scoring 23 and conceding 19 goals so far. They have been hit or miss on the road so far (4-4-1), scoring 11 and conceding 8.

This will be the third time these two meet in the season, after a 1-1 draw in London for the EPL and Southampton’s 0-1 win a few days ago for the FA Cup. Last season Arsenal won here by 2-0 after a 2-2 draw in London. Southampton have been great as hosts against Arsenal in EPL games since 2005, losing just twice in that span (3-2-4). This could be a tough match for Arsenal who will also be missing Aubameyang.
