The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Southampton lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in an important clash at St. Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Southampton vs Arsenal Preview
Southampton are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table and have struggled to make an impact this season. The home side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Everton last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table and have stepped up to the plate so far this season. The Gunners edged Newcastle United to a narrow 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
