Arsenal will look to continue their unbeaten run as they host 19-placed Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Gunners have been in impressive form of late, and are bidding for their third win in a week. They defeated a Leicester City in a six-goal thriller in the league on the weekend before beating PSG 2-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Southampton went down 3-1 to host Bournemouth in their previous league match. It was their fifth defeat in six matches so far.

Arsenal vs. Southampton Prediction
Arsenal and Southampton are at two ends of the Premier League spectrum currently. While the Gunners are unbeaten in the league so far, Southampton are yet to register a win.
The Saints, who were earned promotion to the Premier League, have found life difficult in the top division. Their possession-based football hasn't made much of an impact yet.
Despite the injury concerns in the Arsenal line-up, Mikel Arteta's side should be able to dominate the clash on Saturday.
