Arsenal vs Southampton LIVE SCORE: Gunners look to keep good form going as they face struggling Saints – updates

ARSENAL return to Premier League action with a home encounter against struggling Southampton – and Mikel Arteta has a selection headache ahead of kick-off.

The Gunners boss could be tempted to hand summer signing Mikel Merino his first start after his solid cameo in the PSG Champions League victory.

But looking further forward, Arteta is expected to go with the same front three that has earned his side six wins in their last nine matches across all competitions.
