Arsenal have lost just two of their last 16 Premier League games against Southampton (W8 D6), going down in December 2018 (2-3) and April 2022 (0-1). The visitors have also won seven matches out of seven this season against teams currently in the bottom four of the table, scoring 20 goals and conceding just five.

Arsenal will be without both Jurrien Timber and William Saliba for their trip to Southampton on the final day of the Premier League season. Timber is sidelined after undergoing ankle surgery on Tuesday, while fellow Gunners defender Saliba will be absent after picking up a hamstring injury during last week’s win over Newcastle.

Arsenal head into the final game of the Premier League season against Southampton pressure-free with Champions League qualification already in the bag. Having missed out on the title, Mikel Arteta’s side still had some work to do last week to ensure they are back at Europe’s top table next season – having fallen short at the semi-final stage against Paris Saint Germain earlier this month.
