Confirmed line-ups: Arsenal vs Southampton: Jorginho and Sterling start
Arsenal will look to keep pace at the top of the Premier League table with a win over Southampton at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon.
We secured a comfortable 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Mikel Arteta has made some changes from the side that played in midweek but David Raya keeps goal once again and he’ll be hoping to continue his excellent form this season with another shut-out today.
William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes continue their partnership at the heart of Arsenal’s back four while Riccardo Calafiori starts once again. The Italian international lines-up at left-back with Thomas Partey moving to right-back with Ben White and Jurrien Timber out.
Declan Rice starts once again in midfield and Jorginho occupies the holding role meaning Mikel Merino is among the substitutes having made his debut off the bench against PSG in midweek.
Bukayo Saka lines-up on the right wing for Arsenal with Raheem Sterling making his full debut on the left flank. Kai Havertz moves into midfield with Leandro Trossard making way. Gabriel Jesus is recalled to start up front.
Here are the line-ups:
Arsenal
Raya; Partey, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Jorginho, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Sterling, Jesus.
Subs: Neto, Lewis-Skelly, Tomiyasu, Kiwior, Merino, Nwaneri, Martinelli, Trossard, Butler-Oyedeji.
Southampton
Ramsdale, Sugawara, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Walker-Peters, Manning, Downes, Aribo, Dibling, Fernandes, Stewart
Subs: McCarthy, Bree, Taylor, Lallana, Ugochukwu, Armstrong, Brereton Díaz, Archer, Onuachu
