Arsenal play Southampton in the Friday Night Premier League match tonight and Paul Merson has given his prediction where he expects an easy win for his former side and Premier League leaders. The Gunners have dropped four points in their last two games, blowing leads against Liverpool and West Ham and that has put the title back into Manchester City’s hands ahead of the sides upcoming meeting this week. Southampton are bottom of the table and looking more and more likely to be relegated to the Championship and it is hard to see them getting a result tonight, and Paul Merson agrees with that.Merson’s Arsenal vs Southampton Prediction
This is a big game in the title race, and Arsenal need to get back to where they were. They’ve run out of luck a little bit – for all the last-minute goals they’ve scored this season, it’s coming the other way now. They did brilliantly to go 2-0 up against West Ham but they then got complacent. Arsenal aren’t playing badly, but they are getting punished for things they got away with at the start of the season. This reminds me of when I was playing in 1989 – we were clear, but Liverpool caught up with us and we had to go get a result at Anfield. Bukayo Saka was incredibly brave to take a penalty after his miss at the Euros. People miss penalties, and I’d be shocked if he didn’t take the next one for Arsenal. If you had to pick a game to bounce back this season, you’d take Southampton at home. I still think Arsenal will win the league this season, and they should be able to win this game.
