Arsenal haven't won a league game since the start of November and suffered three defeats in a row. The defeats came against Wolves, Tottenham and Burnley and the North London giants will face another tough test on Wednesday as they welcome an in-form Southampton side.

Under Ralph Hasenhuttl, Southampton have been in fine form this season. The south coast club are currently in fourth place on the league table with 23 points from 12 games. Southampton put three past struggling Sheffield United at the weekend and will be hoping to continue their incredible run this season when they visit Arsenal.
