Southampton hosts Arsenal in round 20 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 26th at St. Mary's Stadium (Southampton)
For the Saints, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s arrival on the coaching bridge was a real godsend. The Austrian coach quickly adjusted the microclimate in the team, got rid of unnecessary players, and began fruitful work on building a combat-ready team. Southampton is in 10th place in the standings, lagging four points behind the European Cup zone. In the case of a qualitative improvement in the game, the club is capable of achieving higher results. We are pleased with Southampton's approach to personnel policy. Either ready-to-play performers or young talents with the prospect of rapid progress come to the team. Now the coaching staff of the Saints counts on such football players as Ings, Adams, Ward-Prowse, Bednarek, Diallo, and Vestergaard.

Mikel Arteta has managed to improve the results of Arsenal, and his charges are getting out of a protracted game crisis. The Gunners have a streak of five matches without defeats in the Premier League (only one draw) and lag only six points behind the European Cup positions. Soon, Arsenal will have to play on two fronts again (the Europa League will return), but it will be difficult to do this efficiently without a serious rotation of the lineup. Arsenal has certain problems with human resources. There are too many players who have already passed the peak of their shape and career (David Luiz, Aubameyang, Willian, and Xhaka). The stake is placed on young players who must progress at a rapid-fire pace (Saka, Pepe, Smith Rowe, Tierney, and Nketiah).
In the last head-to-head matches of these English clubs, the fans often saw a competitive struggle with mutual chances of success. The Gunners currently do not have significant statistical superiority over the Saints. Hasenhuttl's charges are ready to offer battle to the favorite. Arsenal will hold the initiative, but we will not see a total advantage from Arteta's team. Let’s assume that the match will end with an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
