Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has said that he expects to see goals this weekend, when his Arsenal side travel down to Southampton on Sunday.
In the last five matches between the two sides, there have been 15 goals, and Wenger expects to add to this tally. Arsenal are in attacking form, having put six past BATE Borisov in the Europa League in midweek, and he also praised the quality of Southampton’s attack. Wenger said;
There should be goals because they are an offensive team as well, with offensive potential.
They have Charlie Austin back now, and of course they have players like [Dusan] Tadic, [Nathan] Redmond, [Sofiane] Boufal who are all very strong offensively. They have a good technical level as a team and both side can create chances so there could be goals there.
The result against Everton and the quality of their performance against Bournemouth [shows Southampton are back on the rise].
I thought in the second half they always looked dangerous against Bournemouth and capable of scoring – it is true that if you look at the number of goals they scored and the quality of their last two performances, it looks like they are coming back to a much more dangerous team.
Saints currently sit in 11th place on 17 points. Arsenal are in fifth, 11 points ahead of the South Coast club.
