Arsenal finally put on a performance worthy of their club by putting together two straight victories. The North London club will welcome high-flying Southampton to the Emirates stadium. Arsene Wenger and company will want to continue their streak to climb up into the top four, and Southampton will want to stay close to the top of the table. Having already lost to Southampton in the Capital One Cup, this one should be interesting.
