Southampton vs Arsenal Premier League Prediction
The final day of the Premier League will see relegated Southampton welcome Arsenal to St. Mary's Stadium on Sunday. Can the Saints stun the Gunners on the Premier League’s final day?
Southampton Preview & Form
Southampton are enduring one of their most challenging seasons in the Premier League and will need to rebuild from scratch in the Championship next season. The Saints spent a huge part of the season rooted at the bottom of the table, as so far they have managed only two wins in this season's Premier League campaign while collecting just 12 points. Last weekend, the Saints extended their winless streak in the Premier League to 13 games in a row as they were beaten 2-0 by Everton at the iconic Goodison Park Stadium in Sunday's early kick-off game. The Saints have now avoided the record joint lowest points tally in Premier League history, set by Derby County in the 2007/08 campaign.
Simon Rusk, since taking charge as interim manager at Saints, has lost each of his first two home games but held Manchester City to a goalless draw in their last home game.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal are already guaranteed to finish this season second in the Premier League table for a third season in a row, no matter the outcome of the final day. Mikel Arteta's side endured a challenging season and will conclude the season without a trophy in their cabinet for the fifth successive year, with the head coach admitting on Thursday in his press conference that the Gunners must strengthen their squad by signing top-quality players to address a lack of “firepower.” Last weekend, the Gunners got back to winning ways by beating Newcastle United 1-0 at the Emirates to end a five-match winless streak across all competitions.
Mikel Arteta's men are enjoying an impressive away form, with the Gunners unbeaten in their road Premier League games since early February, a 2-0 defeat against Newcastle United. They have won six of their 13 away games while drawing the other seven.
