Arsenal look to reignite their title charge when they host Southampton in the Premier League on Friday, April 20.
Although Mikel Arteta's side have not lost in the league since February, back-to-back draws to Liverpool and West Ham on the road have reduced their lead at the top to just four points over Manchester City, who also have a game in hand on Arsenal.
Ruben Selles still believes he can keep rock-bottom Southampton in the top flight. The Saints are bottom of the league and four points adrift of safety with seven games to go.
Southampton did pick up a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture back in October, but their record at Arsenal is poor. They have failed to win in 27 attempts, losing 19 of those games.
