Arsenal are back in action this evening in a crucial Premier League match-up against bottom of the table Southampton.

The Gunners welcome the Saints to the Emirates on the back of two disappointing results on the road, with only a win acceptable tonight.

The same will apply for Southampton, who sit bottom of the table and without a win since the start of March.

In the reverse fixture, Arsenal were held to a draw at St Mary’s back in October, a draw of course wont do today as the hosts will be gunning to correct their mistakes.

In terms of team news, Mikel Arteta has confirmed that both William Saliba and Oleksandr Zinchenko will be out of contention for selection this evening – with Saliba’s injury not looking to be resolved any time soon.

Speaking ahead of the game, Arteta stressed the importance of the fans in attendance at the Emirates this evening, as a win is crucial with the all-or-nothing Manchester City fixture coming up mid next week.

The game gets underway at 20:00 at the Emirates this evening.
