Arsenal vs Southampton LIVE: Latest Premier League updates
Arsenal faces Southampton in the Premier League as they aim to keep their momentum going and stay in contention for the championship.
Mikel Arteta's team has gotten off to a fantastic start this season, remaining undefeated with four victories and two draws in their first six matches. This strong performance should serve them well as they prepare to face a team they have never lost to in north London over the past 24 encounters.
Aaron Ramsdale is set to make his return to the Emirates for the first time since his summer departure. He recently shared his reasons for leaving north London to join a club that might face the risk of relegation.
Arsenal heads into the match without a loss in their last 15 outings, and Kai Havertz will be eager to continue his good form after netting his fifth goal in nine matches on Tuesday, helping the team secure a 2-0 victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
