Arsenal take on the visitors Southampton in the round 7 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, October 5th at Emirates Stadium (London).
Arsenal have had an incredibly productive week, delighting their fans with three home victories. First, they thrashed Bolton 5-1 with a mixed lineup in the League Cup, then secured a dramatic 4-2 win against Leicester in added time in the Premier League, and finally built a first-half lead in the Champions League that they held onto against PSG (2-0). Arteta's side executed these three home games efficiently, winning each by at least a two-goal margin. Next up is another chance for victory against the Premier League's bottom team, which has struggled since its return from the Championship. There's more good news for Arsenal beyond their recent results—key players are returning from injury. Gabriel Jesus, Ben White, and Jurrien Timber, who have all returned in the last week or two, will undoubtedly strengthen the squad’s depth.

Southampton struggling with results in the Premier League. The "Saints" have been disappointing their fans this season, finding the return from the Championship extremely challenging. Their defense has been especially poor—losing 0-3 at home to a troubled Manchester United and recently suffering a 1-3 defeat away to Bournemouth, where former Arsenal keeper Aaron Ramsdale conceded three goals in the first half alone. It’s clear he’ll be motivated to perform well against his old club, but with such a leaky defense, he’ll likely be picking the ball out of his net repeatedly. The worst team in the league not only concedes an average of two goals per game but has only managed to score three times in six matches. Facing Arsenal, Martin’s men will likely struggle significantly.
I believe that Arsenal, with their superior quality, will comfortably take all three points and continue their chase of Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the league. Given Arsenal's form, the huge gap in quality between the two sides, the Gunners' strong home performances, and Southampton’s weak defense, this game could end in a rout. Arsenal should easily win by at least two goals, maintaining their strong home form and extending their winning streak at the Emirates.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with -2.0 handicap.
