Zinchenko returns but Xhaka misses out through illness as Gunners seek huge home win

Arsenal must beat Southampton tonight to prevent losing their grip on the Premier League title race and the top vs bottom clash will be exclusively live on talkSPORT.

The Gunners have dropped points in their last two games, letting a two-goal lead slip in both of them and allowing Manchester City to close the gap. 

Mikel Arteta’s side are now only four points above their rivals and they have played a game more, with doubts beginning to rise over their title chances.
