Undefeated Arsenal is set to take on Southampton on Saturday, aiming for a victory to maintain pressure on Premier League leaders Liverpool. Currently positioned in third place, Arsenal enters this match following a commendable 2-0 Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain earlier this week. Manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed that both Ben White and Jurrien Timber are likely to play after being declared fit for the fixture.
In contrast, Southampton has struggled since their return to the top flight, failing to secure a win and leaving manager Russell Martin under pressure to adopt a more pragmatic style of play, as their current possession-based strategy has only yielded a single point this season.
The match between Arsenal and Southampton will take place at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, October 5, with kickoff scheduled for 3 p.m. BST (10 a.m. ET, 7 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 12 a.m. AEST in Australia).
