Arsenal vs Southampton live stream, kickoff time and match facts
By Josh Sippie
Arsenal will look to get back on track as they trek to bogey Southampton. Here are all the facts you need to know as well as how to watch.
Arsenal had such a good thing going when they welcomed Manchester United and, other than the scoreline, the good things kept going. They have been dominant and pure in their performances, undone only by a couple careless mistakes at the back against the Red Devils.

They have to move on now, though, and that leads them to St. Mary’s, where the Gunners have had their share of troubles in recent memory. One of which ended Wojciech Szczesny’s North London career. Well, that and a cigarette.
Southampton are coming off decent form, although it has to be said that any decent form seems firmly tied to Charlie Austin.

Struggling between Shane Long and Manolo Gabbiadini has left the Saints a bit stranded for consistency, but the big man Chaz Austin has amended that and looks like he may be the ideal target man for them going forward. He has started just two of his 12 appearances, but in those two starts, he has three of his four goals.
Depending on what the Gunners do on the back end of things, they may find Austin to be a thorn in their side, depending on if he gets the start or not.
For Arsenal, the big question is just that – how do they deploy the defense? With Shkodran Mustafi out (barring another magic act of healing), the options are subbing in Per Mertesacker or swapping to a back four, which actually looked incredibly effective against United and inevitably against a poor BATE Borisov.
Other than Mustafi, the Gunners have no other injuries to speak of, not including Santi Cazorla. The Saints will be missing key fullback Cedric and Long, who has always managed to pester the Gunners, will also be doubtful.
All of that in mind, here is all the rest of the information you need to know:
