3 reasons why Arsenal will beat Southampton in the FA Cup this evening

Best chance of silverware

It doesn’t look like Arsenal are going to win the Premier League, and a last 16 clash against Bayern Munich in the Champions League hasn’t done their chances of winning that competition much good either.

Thus, the FA Cup may be their best chance of silverware this season.

Wenger knows that he comes under severe pressure if he doesn’t win things at the Emirates and, having gone a season without doing so last time out, Gunners fans are expecting him to deliver, especially having spent over £80 million on players in the summer.

Two FA Cup titles in the last three years is a decent return for a club that went nine years without silverware, but the questions will once again be asked if Wenger fails to deliver a trophy this term.

Thus, he should give the FA Cup a real go, and pick his best team to get past Southampton on Saturday.
