How both teams go into Southampton vs Arsenal

Southampton will breathe a huge sigh of relief after avoiding becoming the worst Premier League team of all time. However, it’s still been an utterly embarrassing season for them, sitting bottom of the table with just 12 points and two wins on the board. The Saints will hope to restore a small amount of pride in their final fixtures, though playing the last-ever game at Goodison Park and hosting the Gunners leaves them with little chance to do that.

As for Arsenal, a season that promised so much has fizzled out. But now, the Gunners must pick up a couple of points in their final two games to ensure they don’t also slip out of the Champions League places. Mikel Arteta’s men have a key clash at home to Newcastle before this match and if they lose that, there might be huge pressure on them to win on the final day to continue dining at Europe’s top table.
