Ahead of the match at the Emirates Stadium, we take a look at how the sides' midfielders Mesut Ozil and Christian Eriksen compare.

Arsenal let a one-nil lead slip at home to Southampton on Tuesday night after bowing out of the League Cup as Southampton stunned the Gunners with a sensational 2-1 comeback victory.

Besides leaders Chelsea, Arsenal are the only other Premier League side yet to taste defeat this season, although Arsene Wenger’s men have only toasted victory twice this season meaning they currently occupy fourth spot.
