Arsenal predicted XI to face Southampton: Gunners seek league-revenge
By Kian Long
HECTOR BELLERIN
This one is another fairly easy choice. Hector Bellerin is one of the most important players for Arsenal so his presence will be noted, as per usual.
GABRIEL MAGALHAES
Yes, he may have scored an own goal against them in the last match, but it would be silly for Arteta to penalise him based on this. Gabriel has been one of Arsenal’s best players this season and certainly their best defender, he should start.
ROB HOLDING
Didn’t have the best of games at the weekend but Arteta is clearly a fan. After signing a long-term contract, Holding will start in the heart of defence.
KIERAN TIERNEY
The first name on the team sheet, as it should be. Arsenal are looking to provide backup to Kieran Tierney who is in great form but until then, he simply has to start.
