Arsenal will travel to Southampton later this week to take on an in-form side that is riding high on confidence after a 3-0 win against Norwich.
The Gunners themselves have had a terrible start to the season. Arsenal's squad is ravaged by injuries at the moment and Mikel Arteta will be forced to rely on the inexperienced players in his squad to take the side across the finish line against Southampton.
Arsenal commenced the restarted EPL season with a devastating 3-0 loss against Manchester City. A shocking performance from Brazilian defender David Luiz condemned the Gunners to a brutal defeat at the Etihad stadium. Luiz is unlikely to feature in defence against Southampton.
Brighton rubbed salt into Arsenal's wounds by scoring two late goals last week. Arsenal currently sits in the 10th place on the EPL table and the Gunners will need to pull their socks up to remain in contention for European football next season.
