# Southampton vs Arsenal – How will Saints line up?

Southampton will be hopeful of ending their dreadful six game run without a win on Boxing Day as they prepare to face the in-form Arsenal at St. Mary’s.

The Saints are in terrible form, however find themselves in 12th place of the Premier League; quite the contrast to their opponents who find themselves in excellent form and hoping for the title this campaign.

Ronald Koeman confirmed that he is considering making some changes to his Southampton side after their bad form, claiming that their defending was “naive” and “schoolboy”.

Here is how I think Southampton will line up when Arsenal visit.
