Arsenal face Southampton in the Premier League on Wednesday. It is a must-win game for the hosts given their recent struggles in the league.

Arsenal Form

Mikel Arteta could well be fighting for his job on Wednesday evening after watching his team lose six of their last eight league matches.

That form has seen them fall to 15th in the Premier League table a third of the way into the season. The Gunners have lost their last four consecutive home matches.

Those home defeats have come against Leicester, Aston Villa, Wolves and, most recently, Burnley.

Granit Xhaka was sent off in the 1-0 defeat to Sean Dyche’s side as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s own goal saw their fate confirmed.
