Southampton v Arsenal: Confirmed starting XIs

Arsenal travel to Southampton tonight knowing that a win will put them above Manchester United and within three points of fourth placed Manchester City with four games to go in the Premier League season.

Despite the Saints have little but pride left to play for this season it will be no small task for Arsene Wenger’s side, their south coast opponents have become a bit of a bogey team over the past few years and the Gunners haven’t won at St.Mary’s in the league since December 2003.

A former student of Wenger’s, Saints boss Claude Puel will be keen to get one over on his former boss after a controversial penalty at The Emirates handed the north Londoners all three points early in the season.

With that in mind, here is the starting XI Puel has gone with to seek revenge over Arsenal under the lights tonight:
