Arsenal return from the international break and go straight into cup action as they travel to face Southampton in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup this evening.
The Gunners saw their hopes of winning an historic quadruple ended in their last game as they lost 2-0 to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final. A poor performance saw Mikel Arteta's side fall to a Nico O'Reilly brace.
Saints defeated Oxford United 2-0 before the break to continue their 14-game unbeaten run that stretches back to mid-January. Their victory over the U's kept them within a shout of reaching the Championship promotion play-offs.
Prevented from immediately bouncing back by the international break, Arteta will be hoping his side can show that they are eager to win trophies with a victory at St Mary's. With an FA Cup semi-final on the line, this is certainly a big game for both teams.
Here's our preview of Arsenal's trip to Southampton.

Southampton vs Arsenal score prediction
Despite facing a side from the league below, Arsenal will have their work cut out for them tonight at St Mary's. Not only have Southampton proven to be a bogey team for the Gunners in the past, their recent unbeaten form bodes well for them.
However, the Gunners should have enough to get over the line on the South Coast and secure their spot in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. It won't be easy for them and they will have to work for it, but Arsenal will progress to the last four tonight.
