Welcome to the Gooner Fanzine's live blog as Arsenal take on Southampton at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners return to action in the Premier League as Arsenal host Southampton in a top vs bottom affair.
A win today could take Arsenal seven points clear at the top as Manchester City are without a game this week, points are essential to widen the gap ahead of the trip to the Etihad next week.

65' GOAL Southampton score from the corner as Caleta-Car heads past Ramsdale. 1-3

55' Substitution for Arsenal as Trossard replaces Vieira. 1-2
52' Good start to the second half for Arsenal, who are asking lots of questions of Southampton's defence. Nothing to show for it so far. 1-2
KICK OFF The second half is underway.
Mistakes, goals, fouls, cards, chances, corners, subs..that first half had it all. What do you make of the game so far, Gooners?
What a first half, not quite for the right reasons after two early goals saw the Saints go two up. A goal from Martinelli has introduced Arsenal into the game more. All to play for in the second half.

15' Arsenal look completely shaken and far from the side we've seen all season, its crucial that the hosts get back in this game quickly. 0-2
13' GOAL. It goes from bad to worse for Arsenal as Walcott doubles the scoring for Saints. 0-2
5' Good link up play between Partey and Odegaard, the Arsenal skipper darts into the box but the ball goes out for a goal kick. Better from the hosts. 0-1

Thoughts on the team news, Gooners?
Main talking points from the team news is that Zinchenko starts after being a doubt after missing the West Ham fixture. Granit Xhaka misses out due to illness so Vieira comes in.
SOUTHAMPTON XI: Bazunu; Walker-Peters, Bella-Kotchap, Bednarek, Perraud; Lavia, Ward-Prowse, Elyounoussi; Alcaraz, Walcott, Armstrong
ARSENAL XI: Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Vieira, Odegaard; Saka, Martinelli, Jesus
A lot of speculation regarding team news this evening..official starting line-ups for both sides are to follow.
