Back to business after the international break. Lots for us to look forward to next weekend. Unfortunately, I feel that Southampton are becoming somewhat of a bogey team for us, and we never get an easy ride against them.
I'm not sure what to expect from Southampton this season; a new manager and have lost some of their big names in the summer. They still have enough to cause us problems though with a strong defensive set up, and the pacey Shane Long in attack. I anticipate that with Mustafi, we'll be playing a high line, so we need to beware Long's threat in behind.
------------------ Cech
Bellerin - Mustafi - Koscielny - Monréal
------------Cazorla - Xhaka
Walcott --------- Özil ------------ Alexis
------------------Giroud
Strong XI for us next weekend, with Mustafi making his debut in defence (although Holding is deserving also). I don't think Arsène will give us what we want and have Lucas upfront from the start, but he'll make an appearance at some point. Win this one and we'll make some ground up on the Manchester clubs. Big weekend for us really with the Manchester derby and Liverpool v Leicester.
Prediction: Arsenal 2 - 0 Southampton
