Great opportunity for Arsenal to get back to winning ways today.
It is a sad indictment or Arsenal that some fans, judging by the comments on here, are nervous at playing a team like Southampton.
That is nothing against the Saints but we are talking about a team in the relegation zone. A team that recently conceded nine goals in a single match.
It is not going to take a rocket scientist to know what is required today. Players playing in the right position, the correct formation and an attack-minded approach.
It is imperative that the team line up reflects those basic conditions. Well, this is the team that Emery has gone with. I will leave it up to each of you to draw your own conclusions.
The feedback in the comments will be very interesting.
The game kicks off at 15.00 UK time. Match Preview here and for comparison, our predicted lineup.
Links to streams will be put in the comments where to watch the game live and free so keep checking in.
Also, if you go to the official Arsenal website you will be able to get live commentary text and Arsenal radio.
