Saints At Arsenal ! Dan's Preview ! Thursday, 8th Sep 2016 21:00 On Saturday, Saints take on Arsenal at The Emirates Stadium in their fourth game of the Premier League season after a week away from the league because of an international break. Arsenal will be seen as the favourites for this fixture but there is no reason why we can’t cause an upset and nick a point or three with the confidence from last season’s performances against the Gunners. For one of the best teams in the league, Arsenal probably haven’t started the new season the way they would’ve like to. An opening day defeat at home to Liverpool after conceding four goals but managing to score three, followed by a 0-0 stalemate away to Leicester but then getting their first three points last time out away at Watford with a 3-1 win. With other great teams like Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United all having 100% records, it isn’t the perfect start for Arsenal.
The game hasn’t come at a great time for Southampton with the awful record after international breaks. Arsenal have a fantastic team as we all know and are a different side at home than they are away. Stranger things have happened than us leaving with all three points but I don’t see it realistically happening. However, if we play the right formation and actually give the home side a run for their money, I fancy us to leave with a point so I’m going to go for a 1-1 draw, and that’s being an optimist.
