The Gunners are off to their worst start to a season in almost 40 years as pressure mounts on Mikel Arteta. The North London club have lost four of their last five matches in the league and are on a four-game losing streak at home heading into Wednesday's match.
Despite sitting in 15th place on the log standings and 12 points behind the league leaders, the Arsenal manager insists that there is no panic at Emirates Stadium.
"I wouldn't say there's panic. I can see in training the way they try and the energy they put in," Artera said following their 1-0 loss to Burnley on Sunday. "A team that is struggling normally you don't see them play the way we were playing, and the way they played against Tottenham Hotspur.
"But we lost the game, we gave the opponents a chance and they scored and at this level it is all about winning football matches."
Southampton moved up to fourth spot with a 3-0 win over Sheffield United this past weekend as they continue to surprise for all the right reasons. The Saints sit just two points off the summit and could go top on Wednesday evening (albeit for a short period) if they win at Emirates Stadium and other results go their way.

The corresponding fixture last season ended in a 2-2 draw. Goals from Danny Ings and James Ward-Prowse had given Southampton the lead one two occasions but a brace from Alexandre Lacazette earned the hosts a point.
