Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal will look to heap the pressure on the Premier League’s top four with victory at Southampton on Wednesday night (7.45pm kick-off).

The Gunners kept their top four challenge on track courtesy of a vital 2-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday, and now trail fourth place Manchester City by six points but with Wednesday’s crucial game in hand to come.

It means that Wenger’s men can really ramp up the pressure on Pep Guardiola’s men and indeed Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, who are just a point better off than the Citizens, with all three points on the South Coast.

However, it won’t be easy against a Southampton side bidding for their fourth successive top-half finish in the Premier League.

Claude Puel’s men currently sit tenth in the division after drawing 0-0 at Anfield on Sunday, but know that victory at St Mary’s on Wednesday could take them up to eighth in the league table.

Nonetheless, Wenger’s Arsenal will go in as favourites after four wins from their last five Premier League games, although with games to come on Saturday and Tuesday as well, the Frenchman may have to make some changes to his side.

Thus, here are THREE Arsenal stars who deserve a chance against Southampton…
