As former Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale returns to the Emirates for the first time since leaving the club, here’s our Arsenal Vs Southampton predicted lineups for Saturday’s Premier League fixture.<\/b><\/p>\n
Mikel Arteta’s title-chasing Gunners host winless Southampton<\/a> on Saturday, with both sides craving victory for different reasons.<\/p>\n Arsenal<\/a> need to make up ground on Liverpool, with the Reds one point above them and top of the table heading into game week seven.<\/p>\n Russell Martin’s Saints meanwhile are still without a win, and have taken just one point from their opening six matches back in the top flight.<\/p>\n The hosts saw off PSG in the Champions League<\/a> earlier this week, while Southampton were comprehensively beaten by South Coast neighbours Bournemouth<\/a> on Monday.<\/p>\n But despite the contrasting recent fortunes of both sides, Arsenal fans will be cautious about facing a team they have notoriously struggled against.<\/p>\n Arteta’s team have not beaten the Saints in their last three meetings, drawing twice and losing 1-0 at St Mary’s in 2022.<\/p>\n As their injury crisis continues, there’s no let-up for Arsenal in the fullback department.<\/p>\n Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf), Kieran Tierney (hamstring) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) are all out, while both Ben White (groin) and Jurrien Timber (muscle) are struggling with fresh knocks.<\/p>\n Timber came off at half-time in the midweek victory over PSG, while Mikel Merino made his long-awaited debut in the second half, and is in contention to start on Saturday.<\/p>\n Gunners captain Martin Odegaard is still out with an ankle injury, but Kai Havertz has excelled in his place recently.<\/p>\n The German will become the first Arsenal player to score in five straight home Premier League games since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang if he nets another on Saturday.<\/p>\nArsenal Team News<\/h2>\n
