Southampton vs Arsenal

Southampton host Premier League leaders at Arsenal on Sunday hoping for a huge upset at St Mary's, as Mikel Arteta's boys are heavy favorites.

Interim manager Steve Davis will remain in charge for the foreseeable future after Wolves were rejected by at least two targets to replace the recently departed Bruno Lage. The Foxes picked up a rare victory (their second of the season) as they beat Leeds 2-0 on Thursday. Kepa Arrizabalaga has kept five clean sheets in a row in all competitions and made some superb saves against Villa and Brentford as he’s keeping Edouard Mendy out of the team. Four changes for Chelsea with Chilwell, Sterling, Aubameyang and Thiago Silva all coming in. Chelsea have gone to a back 4 with the trio of Kovacic, Jorginho and Loftus-Cheek in midfield. Chelsea have no control. Chelsea much more dangerous now. Another great opportunity for Chelsea as Mount finds Sterling and his touch towards Aubameyang is too heavy. Chelsea head to RB Salzburg on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League and then head to Brighton on Saturday, Oct. Rashford, Aubameyang struggle: The forwards on both teams struggled to have an impact and perhaps both Chelsea and Manchester United will be better without a true No. Armel Bella-Kotchap suffered a shoulder injury against West Ham and will be out for a few weeks, at least, while right back Kyle Walker-Peters hobbled off against Bournemouth in midweek and is out for a long time with a hamstring issue. Bukayo Saka scored the winner for Arsenal at Leeds, while the Gunners are digging deep and putting in gritty displays.

It is a position they could never have imagined themselves in at the start of the season but as Granit Xhaka said after Thursday's win against PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League, this is an opportunity they must grasp. Still this is a team that tends to deliver its best performances at home to top sides, beating Arsenal in the top flight last season and Chelsea this. Arsenal: For Mikel Arteta's side, the task is simple, for now at least. Mary's, we have shown we can win against teams like Arsenal and Chelsea." It would be harsh indeed if a loss to the league leaders forced him to reconsider that stance but sacking season is very much upon us in the Premier League.

If we want robust players, they are going to have to start doing that early in their careers.Mikel Arteta He’s a player that I admired a lot, a player and a person that I really respect and a manager that did extremely well at Rangers. As for Arsenal, Bukayo Saka was a constant menace down the right-wing against PSV but after a kick to the calf, the 21-year-old was moving gingerly and Arteta will be hoping he recovers in time to feature.

It’s something we have to show on the pitch against a team who made it difficult for us last season, we have to prove we are the better team today. We need to go every three days, we know that will happen before the World Cup and after the World Cup, they need to be ready to do that." With just the two in the middle, this could be where Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard have the most joy. It seems as though the substitution of Takehiro Tomiyasu against PSV was indeed the sign that he would be starting against Southampton. The way of defending must be committed against a very good side that has good quality. It’s the dressing room, the away dressing room, they’ll be going out thinking they will win it, should win it. But if there was a place you could get success it would be against this man [Gabriel], gave a goal away against Fulham, penalty against Tottenham, against Liverpool he looked shaky and he can be rash, tries to win every ball. A sentence we might not have thought possible to use to describe Granit Xhaka at one stage. Jesus has had the best chances of the game but his five-game streak without a goal could reach six. What a finish it was from the free-scoring midfielder. Not that Southampton particularly look like scoring at the moment, touch wood, but the one-goal difference is just giving the home side that little bit of additional impetus. Referee Robert Jones is having a strange game, to say the least.

If MIguel Almiron’s career-best form can last and Allan Saint-Maximin returns to health in-form, the Magpies could find themselves as good as they’ve been in a decade. Newcastle’s in the discussion: There’s a lot of work to be done and a lot of season to be played but there’s very little in the first three months of the season that shows Newcastle cannot be a serious part of the top seven fight and perhaps even compete for a cup. Youri Tielemans’ strike was incredible and the movement and finish on Harvey Barnes’ effort was Leicester at its very best. Bamford had terrific chances in the 1-0 loss to Arsenal and the 2-0 loss to Leicester City, and he missed a prime chance to put Leeds ahead after coming on for scorer Rodrigo. Everton’s loaded midfield delivers as McNeil flashes off the bench (Everton 3-0 Crystal Palace): On a good day for Everton midfielders, Dwight McNeil flashed for Frank Lampard when he entered the fray with the Toffees holding the lead. Ollie Watkins was more of a winger on Sunday and Leon Bailey was splendid on the left. Class of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen gives United sturdy foundation (Chelsea 1-1 Man Utd – Player ratings): The experienced duo of Christian Eriksen and Casemiro got Man United off to a fine start at Chelsea as they ticked things over nicely in midfield and gave the visitors a foundation to get something from the game. (Man City 3-1 Brighton): When a side has a goalscorer of Erling Haaland’s quality and consistency, they’ll win more games than not even when they turn in a 5/10 or 6/10 performance (by their own standards). The rest then usually takes care of itself as Arsenal can sit back and tempt opponents to take more chances to get back in the game. Newcastle’s in the discussion (Spurs 1-2 Newcastle): There’s a lot of work to be done and a lot of season to be played but there’s very little in the first three months of the season that shows Newcastle cannot be a serious part of the top seven fight and perhaps even compete for a cup. Klopp said a few weeks ago they were out of the title race and after a few dogged wins it looked like they could be back in it. Bukayo Saka scored the winner for Arsenal at Leeds, while the Gunners are digging deep and putting in gritty displays.

“But still nobody has a crystal clear ball. The gym is very important but what happens in your brain is more important. We need to go every three days, we know that will happen before the World Cup and after the World Cup, they need to be ready to do that. Since then the product of Arsenal’s hailed Hale End academy has recovered in a manner many would never have predicted, ending last season as the club’s top goalscorer. Saka has started all of those matches, providing four goals and four assists. It’s something we have to show on the pitch against a team who made it difficult for us last season, we have to prove we are the better team today. The way of defending must be committed against a very good side that has good quality. There’s a consistency collectively to maintain our form. Losing possession easily, Arsenal's pressure is paying dividends. There is no end to what this man cannot do and props to Ben White too. A half-volley with his right foot, attacking a low cross from the overlapping right-back. These are the patterns of play that Arteta has drilled into his team.
