Arsenal vs Southampton LIVE!
After back-to-back away defeat at Manchester United and Everton, Arsenal bid to get back to winning ways when they face Southampton at Emirates Stadium.
It is wrong to suggest the wheels have come off their mini-revival under Mikel Arteta but Arsenal desperately need a win to lift the mood ahead of the busy festive period.
Today is the start of a run of six matches in 17 days between now and the end of the year, and the Gunners cannot afford another slip-up as they seek to stay in the hunt for Europe.
Arsenal go into the game in seventh place, four points off West Ham in fourth.
Injury-hit Southampton are without a win in four under Ralph Hasenhuttl and will have new 40-year-old signing Willy Caballero is poised to make his debut in goal, with Alex McCarthy and Fraser Forster both ruled out.
