Arsenal vs Southampton heralds interesting weekend in the PL — Preview
The Gunners, Arsenal take on Southampton looking to take advantage of Manchester City's absence this weekend in the Premier League.
Arsene Wenger's previous advice is now being used by manager Mikel Arteta to aid Arsenal's quest for the Premier League title. If Arsenal defeats Southampton tonight, their lead might grow to seven points with City having two games yet to be played.
Arsenal injury worries
With the season gradually coming to an end, Mikel Arteta's side has been faced with a number of injury concerns heading into the title run-in.
William Saliba, for example, is still out with a back issue. The French defender hasn't played since Sporting CP eliminated Arsenal from the Europa League last month.

PREMIER LEAGUE Arteta reveals what Smith Rowe needs to fulfil his potential at Arsenal
The midfielder has been used sparingly this season.
Oleksandr Zinchenko was also absent from the squad for the 2-2 draw with West Ham last weekend as a precaution, but he could play against the Saints this evening. Mohamed Elneny and Takehiro Tomiyasu have also been sidelined for the rest of the season.
Think of the process of how to play says Wenger
Arteta shared the piece of advice former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger gave him prior to the game that is igniting their current title chase.
Wenger, speaking earlier this week about Arsenal's title race, said, "When you start thinking about the need to win rather than the process of how to play. That's when things get difficult."
Arteta said he was being told the same statement during his playing days at Arsenal and that he tells his players the same thing.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the Spaniard said: "He used to say that all the time to us and it's very, very true.
"We always say it. Look after the next ball and what is in the process. Play the game well to deserve to win it and the result is an outcome of what we have to do - most of the time! Unfortunately, not always in football but most of the time. When you are focused on that, the rest usually comes in the right way."
