Southampton vs Arsenal team news confirmed: Wenger makes one change after Man Utd defeat
ARSENAL are without Shkodran Mustafi for the lunchtime clash with Southampton.
Southampton host Arsenal at the St Mary's
Mustafi was forced off in last week’s 3-1 defeat to Manchester United and it means captain Per Mertesacker comes in to start.
Jack Wilshere once again has to settle for a place on the bench while Theo Walcott is not in the 18-man squad despite playing on Thursday.
For Southampton, Mauricio Pellegrino has made four changes to his team.
Nathan Redmond returns to the starting XI in place of Sofiane Boufal.
Maya Yoshida, Jack Stephens, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg also come in for Jeremy Pied, Wesley Hoedt and Steven Davis.
The teams are in! ������
