Arsenal vs Southampton Team Formations, Predicted Starting Lineups & Possible Lineups today (XI)
Here are our Arsenal vs Southampton predictions of the team formations and starting 11 lineups for the Premier League 2023 today.
Arsenal vs Southampton Team Formations
Arsenal team formation (4-3-3)
Due to injury, Arsenal will be without Mohamed Elneny and Takehiro Tomiyasu again on Friday, while William Saliba is expected to stay out with a back issue.
Saliba’s comeback date is still unclear, but the Frenchman is expected to sit out against the Saints once more. Rob Holding will remain in the centre of the defence.
Although Oleksandr Zinchenko is anticipated to start in place of Kieran Tierney on Friday night, the Ukrainian international might recover from a muscle injury.
The positions in midfield and the last third of the field, where Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka will accompany Gabriel Jesus in attack, are not anticipated to present any shocks.
Southampton team formation (4-4-2)
Ainsley Maitland-Niles is unable to play for Southampton against his parent club, and Juan Larios, Valentino Livramento, Mislav Orsic, and Mohammed Salisu are still out with injuries.
Che Adams could be able to play again after a calf injury, but the Scotland international is unlikely to get the start. Instead, Paul Onuachu might enter the game in the last third of the pitch.
With Theo Walcott maybe falling to the bench against his former team and Romain Perraud presumably replacing Maitland-Niles, Moussa Djenepo might also start in a wide position.
Arsenal vs Southampton Starting Lineups
Here are the predicted Arsenal vs Southampton starting lineups today.
Arsenal predicted starting 11 lineup vs Southampton today
Arsenal starting lineup (XI): Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Thomas, Odegaard; Martinelli, Jesus, Saka
Southampton predicted starting 11 lineup vs Arsenal today
Tonight’s match is the 106th meeting between Arsenal and Southampton. The Gunners have dominated with 53 wins while Southampton have managed 23 for themselves and the other 29 ended as draws.
Will Adam Armstrong or Gabriel Jesus be able to wow the crowds once again by scoring first? We expect Gabriel Jesus to score the first goal at 3.90 and Adam Armstrong the last score at 16.00.
