Arsenal vs Southampton prediction and odds ahead of Premier League action

With the FA Cup semi-final distracting Man City's title pressure, Arsenal have the perfect chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table when they welcome struggling Southampton to the Emirates Stadium. The hosts have never lost at home against the south coast side in the league.

The Gunners are the heavy favourites going into the match at 2/11 with Betfred to give themselves a seven-point lead over Man City while the Saints are 14/1 outsiders to cause a shock and a draw is 6/1. Arsenal have never lost to Southampton at home in the Premier League picking up 16 wins and seven draws - the most one side has hosted another without ever losing in the league.

Southampton have only won twice and picked up just eight points since the turn of the year including a six-match winless run where they have conceded 12 goals in that time. They currently sit four points from safety at the foot of the with only Nottingham Forest having a worse - they will need a huge turnaround to get a result in north London.

Tips

  • Arsenal to win and over 2.5 goals - 3/5

  • Arsenal to score 2.5 goals - 5/6

  • Bukayo Saka to score anytime - 11/8
