Arsenal returned to winning ways last time out and will hope to wrap up the season strongly when they travel to Southampton. The Gunners are set to finish second for the third straight campaign, while Southampton have been relegated. Read on for our prediction of this match.
Southampton have failed to stay up one season after they rose from the Championship. They return to the second tier with quite a number of unwanted records.
The Saints will finish the season with the least wins, most defeats, poorest defence and also as the lowest scorers. After holding Manchester City to a 0-0 draw, Southampton failed to build on it, losing 2-0 to Everton.
Arsenal haven't had a strong run towards the end of the season. They fell off the pace in the league and then got eliminated from the Champions League, confirming another trophyless campaign.
They will seek to end a disappointing season on a high when they visit the weakest team on the final day. To warm up for this game, the Gunners scored a crucial win by beating Newcastle United 1-0 at home.
Their victory secured second place and a third straight season in the Champions League. As the side with the meanest defence, here they face the team with the least wins and poorest defence.
Arsenal fans may look at this as a poor season, but there are a lot of positives that can be banked from it. The team is set to end the season with the best defence and here they face the side with the poorest defence.
The Gunners have beaten all the bottom three sides this season, and in Southampton’s form, we don’t expect much difference. The Saints have managed just two wins this season. Our prediction for Southampton v Arsenal is for Arsenal to win with a clean sheet.
