Mark Lawrenson states his prediction for Southampton vs Arsenal

Arsenal are preparing to face Southampton in the Premier League on Tuesday, January 26. The Gunners faced the Saints in the FA Cup 4th round and were eliminated from the tournament as they lost with a 1-0 score. Currently, Southampton sit in 10th place of the league table with 29 points, while Arsenal are 11th with 27 points. Ahead of the game, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson has stated his prediction. "Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta picked a strange team as his side's defence of the FA Cup ended at St Mary's Stadium on Saturday, when the Gunners had been on a good run. "It is no longer a surprise to see Southampton playing well and, although Arsenal will pick a stronger side and make more of a game of it, I still see Saints winning." Lawrenson's score prediction: 2-1  source - BBC
