What is the status of the two teams, before the match?
Arsenal is reported to be without Rosicky, Sagna and Wilshere, while it is doubtful Giroud and Chamakh will be fit for the match. The polish goal keeper Szczesny is on the brink of a comeback.
Southampton travels to London without Jack Cork and Steve de Ridder but has the rest of the squad ready for the match.
How is the two teams form?
Arsenal's first victory this season came last weekend against Liverpool where Cazorla and Podolski scored the two goals. They have otherwise had two goalless draws against Stoke and Sunderland. Two teams, where Arsenal was expected to take three points.
Southampton was close to the surprise in the first Premier League match against Manchester City. However, Samir Nasri scored with ten minutes left, giving City the victory. Southampton has not won so far in the league, suffering from a 2-0 defeat to Wigan and a 3-2 defeat to Manchester United, but they have shown great spirit.

What to expect from this match?
Arsenal has raised their self confidence after last weekends win. However, the Gunners has shown that they have problems with the middle-teams so far, and Southampton might be able to cause them problems.
Southampton has played well against both Manchester teams and are longing for a win. It might come against Arsenal; however, the opponent might be too big a mouthful.
We can expect some technical offensive play from Arsenal, and I believe it will shake Southampton in this match.
Who is going to win?
No one - it will end in a draw. Both teams might get a goal or two, but I can't see any of them winning the match. Arsenal will be the best team and will cause problems for the Southampton defense. However, the strikers have the habit to miss to often in front of goal. The statistics also show that the last two matches between the two teams have ended in a draw.
What are the odds?
The bookmakers are pretty sure: Arsenal will win. However, a draw gives a great cashback.
