Arsenal vs Southampton | Premier League | Gameweek 7

The Premier League match between Arsenal and Southampton takes place at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

After defeating Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 in the Champions League, the Gunners make their Premier League comeback one day after Bournemouth, a rival team on the South Coast, easily defeated the Saints 3-1.

With Liverpool and Man City leading the Premier League, the Gunners are battling to stay up.

On Saturday, Aaron Ramsdale, a familiar face, makes his way back to the Emirates Stadium with Southampton.

In a transaction worth up to £25 million, the goalkeeper left the team over the summer, one year after agreeing to a new contract and virtually immediately after David Raya assumed his starting position.

Ramsdale and his Saints team, who have lost their last six games, will have yet another difficult assignment ahead of them as the Gunners attempt to stay up with Premier League leaders Liverpool, who kick off earlier and take on Crystal Palace.

When these two clubs last faced off in the league, the Gunners lost the championship match despite sharing a 1-1 and a 3-3 draw. Mikel Arteta is aware that any more missed opportunities to score will be expensive.

When is Arsenal vs Southampton ?

Arsenal vs Southampton is scheduled for an 3pm UK kick-off on Saturday, Oct 5, 2024.

How to watch?

The truth is that not many channels in the UK and North America will be showing Arsenal vs. Southampton. The match will not be televised in the UK at all due to the 3 pm blackout.

Hotstar in India, Peacock in (US) & fubo (Canada) will all be airing live coverage of the event.

Arsenal vs Southampton Team News

Arsenal Team News

Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf), Kieran Tierney (hamstring), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), and Ben White (groin) are all expected to miss this game, and Jurrien Timber (muscle) is another injury concern for Arteta. These injuries don't seem to be getting better any time soon.

Mikel Merino, who made his debut as a second-half substitute after suffering an unusual shoulder fracture, will undoubtedly try to get his maiden start this weekend against Thomas Partey.

The hosts are still getting used to playing without captain Martin Odegaard (ankle), but Havertz, his deputy, feels that home is where the heart is. He has the potential to become the first player from Arsenal to score in five consecutive Premier League games at the Emirates since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in 2019.

Southampton Team News

Though there is little likelihood that Will Smallbone will recover from his thigh issue in time for the journey to North London, Gavin Bazunu (Achilles) and Kamaldeen Sulemana (ankle) are still out of the picture.

Jack Stephens, the defender, was sent off against Manchester United and now faces a five-game sentence for using derogatory language. He has been banned for two more games.

Only one of the previous eight goalkeepers to play against the Gunners in the Premier League after previously representing them was Emiliano Martinez for Aston Villa in 2020. Aaron Ramsdale, an ex-Arsenal shot stopper, is expected to be the ninth goalkeeper to do so.
