Arsenal vs. Southampton odds, prediction, pick: Premier League live stream, where and how to watch, time

Arsenal are unbeaten to start the season while dealing with a raft of injuries

by · CBS Sports

Arsenal's quest to win the Premier League title continues on Saturday, when they face promoted side Southampton.

The Gunners are undefeated to start the season and are just one point behind league leaders Liverpool, very much on the opposite end of the table as their opponents. Southampton have just one point from six games and sit in 19th place, marking an unpleasant start to their rerun to the top flight.

Here's what you need to know before tuning in.

Storylines

Nearly five years after Mikel Arteta became the manager, Arsenal are a well-polished, defense-minded side that have become hard to beat in more ways than one. The last few weeks serve as a notable example of their might – they lost captain Martin Odegaard several weeks ago to an ankle injury and though his missing attacking spark was noticeable in draws against Atalanta and Manchester City, Arsenal have been able to overcome the challenge. Between goals off set pieces and Arteta's choice to highlight Kai Havertz's skills in attack, the goals have come, keeping them on track for their title charge.

Havertz will likely play a central role again on Saturday after scoring three league goals this season, while Bukayo Saka could also play a big part after notching five assists in six games so far. Arteta might use the opportunity to change up the personnel slightly after a Champions League week, but Saturday's game should offer a chance for them to show off their attacking prowess despite their defensive reputation.

Prediction

Arsenal are the favorites in this match for good reason, so expect them to prove their worth yet again and perhaps rack up the goals, much as they did against the lower-ranked teams last season en route to a second place finish. Pick: Arsenal 4, Southampton 0
