The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Southampton lock horns with Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side in an important clash at St. Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season and will want to win this game.
Southampton vs Arsenal Preview
Southampton are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table at the moment and have struggled to make an impact this season. The home side slumped to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Everton last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Arsenal, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have stepped up to the plate so far this season. The Gunners edged Newcastle United to a narrow 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Southampton vs Arsenal Prediction

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.
Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.
The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
