The best English Premier League team this season London Arsenal is going to visit Southampton on Sunday night. So far this season, Arsenal has 9 wins and 1 loss that gives 27 points while Southampton is in 15th position with 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats, and a total of 11 points. This week Arsenal didn't have a Premier League match because they had a postponed Europa League game where they beat PSV Eindhoven but Southampton managed to win on the road against Bournemouth which was the first victory since August.

Southampton's manager Ralph Hasenhuttl is on the hot seat because the results haven't been good. Fans of the team chanted "you're getting sacked in the morning" but he's still the head coach of the team. It is going to be very tough against Arsenal because in the last 7 matchups Southampton has won only once. If we look at the last 25 games between teams, Arsenal has lost only 4 and has scored at least 2 goals in 15 games! While playing in front of their fans this season, Southampton players have got 5 points in 5 games which is the worst result in the whole league. Arsenal is the best team on the road with 4 wins and 1 loss.

xG stats show that the situation isn't so bad for Southampton. At home, Southampton is expected to score 1.58 goals while Arsenal on the road is expected to score 1.66 goals (a total of 10 goals which is the league's best). The biggest difference is on defense - Southampton is expected to allow 1.78 goals (3rd worst) but Arsenal only 1.29 which is 2nd best.

In the game against Bournemouth, Southampton's Kyle Walker-Peters limped off the pitch and probably won't be ready to play. There is a concerning situation for Southampton at the right-back position and only 18 years old Lewis Payne might have to be called up for this game. Arsenal's Bukayo Saka wasn't moving very great against PSV and we will need to get some more info about his condition.

Two different levels of teams are going to square off. Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta right after the game against PSV told that they can't take the match against Southampton lightly and that 100% focus should be on. Although they are leaders, Manchester City is very close to Arsenal and they can't afford to lose points so the winning streak should continue.

本赛季英超最好的球队伦敦阿森纳将在周日晚上做客南安普顿。本赛季到目前为止，阿森纳9胜1负，积27分，南安普顿3胜2平6负，排名第15，积11分。本周阿森纳没有进行英超比赛，因为他们推迟了欧联杯的比赛，在欧联杯中他们击败了埃因霍温，但南安普顿设法在客场战胜了伯恩茅斯，这是自8月以来的首次胜利。

南安普顿的主教练拉尔夫·哈森胡特尔处于尴尬的位置上，因为结果并不好。球队的球迷高呼“你明天早上就会被解雇”，但他仍然是球队的主教练。对阵阿森纳将会非常艰难，因为在过去的7场比赛中南安普顿只赢过一次。如果我们看看最近25场球队之间的比赛，阿森纳只输了4场，在15场比赛中至少进了2球!在本赛季的球迷面前，南安普顿的球员在5场比赛中得到了5分，这是整个联赛中最差的成绩。阿森纳是客场最好的球队，4胜1负。

xG的数据显示，南安普顿的情况并没有那么糟糕。在主场，南安普顿预计进球数为1.58球，而客场的阿森纳预计进球数为1.66球(总共10球，这是全联盟最好的)。最大的不同是在防守上——南安普顿预计失球1.78个(倒数第三)，而阿森纳仅失球1.29个(倒数第二)。

在对阵伯恩茅斯的比赛中，南安普顿的凯尔·沃克-彼得斯一瘸一拐地离开了球场，可能无法上场。南安普顿的右后卫位置有一个令人担忧的情况，只有18岁的刘易斯·佩恩可能会被征召参加这场比赛。阿森纳的布卡约·萨卡在对阵埃因霍温的比赛中移动得不是很好，我们需要更多的信息来了解他的情况。

两个不同级别的队伍将展开较量。阿森纳主帅阿尔特塔在与埃因霍温的比赛结束后表示，他们不能轻视与南安普顿的比赛，他们应该百分之百地专注于比赛。虽然曼城是领头羊，但他们和阿森纳非常接近，他们不能丢分，所以连胜应该会继续。
