Match facts
Head-to-head
All eight of Southampton's Premier League wins against Arsenal have come in home games, most recently in April 2022.
Arsenal have lost just two of the past 16 Premier League meetings (W8, D6).
This is the second time Southampton and Arsenal are meeting on the final day of a Premier League campaign. Saints won 3-2 at the Dell in 2000-01.
Southampton
Southampton have lost 29 league games this season – a 30th defeat would set a new Premier League record.
Saints have won at home in the league just once this season, and that was back at the beginning of November.
They have conceded 41 first-half goals, more than any other Premier League team. Their 43 second-half goals conceded is also a division-high this season.
Southampton have won their final Premier League game only twice in their last 13 top-flight campaigns (D4, L7).
Tyler Dibling has failed to win on any of his 20 starts in the Premier League (D4, L16). Only Michael Kightly, Gareth Bale and Nicky Summerbee have started their Premier League careers with a longer winless run.
Arsenal
Arsenal have lost just one of their last 11 in the league, but six of those matches have ended in a draw.
Mikel Arteta's side have conceded 14 first-half goals in this season's Premier League, fewer than any other side.
They haven't conceded more than twice in any of their 57 matches in all competitions this season. They could become just the second club in the Premier League era to go through an entire campaign without conceding three or more goals in a game, emulating Manchester United, who did it in both 2007-08 and 2017-18.
Arsenal's highest goalscorers in the Premier League this season are Kai Havertz (9), Gabriel Martinelli (8) and Leandro Trossard (8). The last time the Gunners went through a league season without anyone netting at least 10 goals was 1923-24.
The Gunners have scored 22 goals fewer than after 37 games last season.
