Arsenal take on Southampton in the Premier League as they look to stay on track and remain in the title hunt.

Mikel Arteta’s side have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season, with four wins and two draws from their opening six matches, which should stand them in good stead ahead of the visit of a side they have never lost to in north London in 24 games.

Aaron Ramsdale will return to the Emirates for the first time since leaving the club in the summer and recently explained why he departed from north London to play for a club who could be threatened with relegation.

Arsenal go into the game on a 15-game unbeaten run, and Kai Havertz is one who will be looking to thrive after scoring his fifth goal in nine games on Tuesday during the club’s 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Aribo and Calafiori collide. It looks like a sore one as it's knee-to-knee. Both are up gradually, though.

Rice's corner comes in, yet Southampton clear again. Raya puts it back in the mixer and Rice keeps it in on the left byline. Arsenal are just looking for that crucial gap in the Saints defence.

Southampton are just looking to keep the ball here. Sugawara nearly gets caught out as Jesus presses. Arsenal win it back and Sterling forces Harwood-Bellis to recover and give away a corner on the left.

Fernandes fires over! Dibling causes Calafiori trouble and shrugs the Italian off like nothing. His cross deflects into the path of Fernandes, yet the Portuguese youngster can't keep it down from inside the area!

It's understood that Ross Stewart's earlier injury was to his calf, rather than quad.

Jesus goes for a curling strike from outside the box after some direct running from Sterling on the left. Ramsdale, however, watches it fly wide of the right post.
