Arsenal, still unbeaten this season, will aim for a victory against Southampton on Saturday as they strive to maintain pressure on Premier League leaders, Liverpool. Currently positioned third in the table, Arsenal comes into this match following a solid 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League earlier this week. Manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that both Ben White and Jurrien Timber have been cleared to play after recovering from injuries.
Conversely, Southampton is looking for their first win since being promoted back to the Premier League. Manager Russell Martin faces mounting pressure to shift towards a more pragmatic style of play, moving away from the possession-heavy tactics that have yielded just one point so far this season.
The match is scheduled for Saturday, October 5, at the Emirates Stadium, with kickoff at 3 p.m. BST, which translates to 10 a.m. ET, 7 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and midnight AEST in Australia on Sunday.
To watch the game live, fans in the US can stream it on Peacock, but a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account is required. For those unable to access EPL matches due to geographical restrictions, a VPN can facilitate streaming by allowing users to change their virtual location. It also enhances privacy and prevents ISP throttling during games.
In the UK, no broadcaster will air the match due to the Saturday 3 p.m. blackout rule that protects attendance throughout England’s football leagues. However, viewers can bypass this restriction using a VPN.
In Canada, fans can catch the game on Fubo Canada, which holds exclusive rights to the Premier League this season. Australian viewers can watch all Premier League fixtures live via Optus Sport, which offers competitive subscription rates, especially for existing Optus network customers.
