Southampton vs. Arsenal

A key game in the English Premier League between two teams sitting in the #10 and #11 spots in the standings. Southampton is home and plays great defense (21 goals allowed in 18 matches), off a pair of wins over Shrewsbury Town (2-0) and this Arsenal squad (1-0). They will lean on that defense for the rematch, as the offense has a slew of injuries with winger Moussa Djenepo, striker Michael Obafemi, midfielder Nathan Redmond, central midfielder Will Smallbone, forward Nathan Tella, and centre-backs Mohammed Salisu and Jannik Vestergaard out. The scores of their last eight games have been 0-0, 1-0, 1-1, 0-0, 1-0, 2-0, 2-0, and 1-0. Arsenal is outstanding on defense, as well, surrendering 19 goals in 18 games. They've allowed just one goal over the last six games. The last three meetings between these rivals have had final scores of 1-0, 1-1, and 2-0, and this shapes up as another defensive duel. Play Southampton/Arsenal UNDER the total.
