Arsenal Predicted Lineup v Southampton: Injured Welbeck Replaced by Theo Walcott

LB: Kieran Gibbs

It’s a toss up between Monreal and Gibbs at the moment at left back with both putting in some assured performances on the left wing – Gibbs may get the nod thanks to his assist for Sanchez against QPR.

CM: Mathieu Flamini

Arteta is still out injured and unless Wenger decided to purchase a midfield reinforcement in January, Flamini will be starting in the centre for further weeks the come.
