 Southampton - Arsenal   Prediction, Picks and Tips  


 

In England, this weekend is largely dominated by the FA Cup. Southampton against Arsenal is one of three matches where two Premier League teams face each other. Looking at the position in the rankings, these teams must be well matched.




 
 

 
 
    
Southampton hopes to qualify for the next round of the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon at its own St. Mary's Stadium. With Arsenal, The Saints are certainly not an easy opponent. On the other hand, Southampton has taken two points more in the Premier League than Arsenal, which has also played one more game. Getting a result against the North Londoners is certainly one of the possibilities for Ralph Hasenhüttl and his men. Southampton, for example, had one point left from the game at Arsenal more than a month ago: 1-1. Former Arsenal player Theo Walcott scored the goal on behalf of Southampton at the Emirates Stadium.

 

Walcott will again be able to count on a base place at Southampton this weekend. Hasenhüttl has to miss a laundry list of players during the FA Cup match with Arsenal due to injuries. Southampton only qualified for this round of the FA Cup this week. The game with Shrewsbury Town was initially postponed by a corona breakout at the League One club. The game was played on Tuesday evening and Southampton recorded a 2-0 victory by a goal from youngster Dan Nlundulu and a goal in the final phase from James Ward-Prowse.

 
 
 
 
 

 
Arsenal is the current FA Cup winner. More than six months ago, The Gunners won their 14th FA Cup by beating Manchester City 2-0 in the final. For Arsenal, winning the FA Cup last season was the only highlight of a disappointing season. This season, things are not going much better for the North Londoners. Mikel Arteta's team is in tenth place in the Premier League and is of course not satisfied with that. We can also expect a lot more from a club like Arsenal. In recent weeks, the North London club has been in a lot better shape.

 

Five of the last six games Arsenal played were won by The Gunners. Only the home game with Crystal Palace (0-0) Arsenal was unable to win last Thursday. On Monday evening, The Gunners did book a convincing 3-0 victory over Newcastle United. With two goals, big earner and star player Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was again worth gold for Arsenal. Top talent Bukayo Saka scored the other goal against Newcastle. Good news for Arsenal was that Mesut Ozil has finally found a new club: the German was making £ 350,000 a week in North London without actually taking action. This week, the playmaker made the switch to Fenerbahçe. Other transfer news from North London this week was that Martin Ødegaard is finishing the season on loan at Arsenal. He is hired from Real Madrid.
