The Saints have a number of players unavailable with Nathan Redmond, Jannik Vestergaard, Moussa Djenepo, and Nathan Tella all out, while Mohamed Salisu and Oriol Romeu are both doubts.

Southampton vs Arsenal Preview

Both sides have been in exceptional defensive form heading into this clash and Saturday’s game could be a tight encounter.

Southampton have kept clean sheets in four of their last five matches in all competitions, while the Gunners have racked up five consecutive shut-outs.

Taking a more detailed look shows us that the Saints have conceded in just two of their last nine home matches, while their north London opponents have let in goals in just three of their last eight clashes on the road.

With both teams likely to cancel each other out, therefore, a low-scoring game looks highly likely and there should be plenty of interest in opposing a goal-filled meeting.

Under 2.5 goals is priced at 3/4 (1.75) while combining this selection with both teams to score ‘no’ sees the odds rise to 5/4 (2.25) which looks like an appealing option.
