Arsenal have made the trip to Southampton to face the Saints at Saint Mary’s Stadium on Sunday, October 23.
Gabriel Jesus leads the line as the Gunners aim to extend their lead over Manchester City after they moved to within one point with a 3-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Mikel Arteta’s side are on the back of a tightly contested 1-0 win at Elland Road last weekend. Their only goal of the game was scored by Bukayo Saka, who also starts for Arsenal this afternoon.
