Arsenal returns to St. Mary’s Stadium on Tuesday to resume Premier League play.
After losing 1-0 to the Saints on Saturday in the FA Cup 4th Round, the Gunners need to regroup and get points on the board, and on the table.
With that said, here’s my predicted starting XI on Tuesday…
[4-3-3]
Saka, Lacazette, Willian
Xhaka, Partey, Rowe Smith
Tierney, Gabriel, Holding, Bellerin
Leno
Predicted final score…
Southampton 2 – Arsenal 2
COYG!
One of my all-time Arsenal players, Olivier Giroud, returns to Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. This time as a player for the competition, Lille. Giroud scored 105 goals in 253 appearances for the Gunners.
