When is Arsenal vs Southampton?

Which TV channel and live stream can I watch it on?

Unfortunately Arsenal vs Southampton won’t be broadcast live on UK TV.

It falls under the blanket ban on coverage (2.45pm to 5.15pm).

But you can follow all the action with SunSport’s live blog right here from 1pm.

What is the team news?

Berndt Leno is still out with a groin injury for Arsenal, not that he would have started ahead of a fit and firing Aaron Ramsdale anyway.

Gabriel Martinelli picked up a thigh problem in the defeat at Goodison Park on Monday, while Emile Smith-Rowe is touch and go with a groin problem, but both are in contention to play.

For Southampton, they are in a keeper crisis mode with Fraser Forster and Alex McCarthy both out.

As a result, Willy Caballero will probably be between the sticks, while Stewart Armstrong is out with a calf problem.

Oriel Romeu and Mohammed Salisu are suspended.
