Team news: Shkodran Mustafi replaces injured Laurent Koscielny, Nathan Redmond starts
Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi comes back into the team to replace the injured Laurent Koscielny whilst Nathan Redmond starts for Southampton.
Koscielny had been struggling with a calf injury and he was deemed not fit enough to play so Mustafi comes into the back three next to Rob Holding and Nacho Monreal.
Elsewhere Danny Welbeck continues to lead the line after his goal against Manchester United with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil behind him.
Southampton's only change from the 0-0 draw against Liverpool sees Redmond come in to replace Sofiane Boufal.
Teams in full:
Southampton - Forster; Cedric, Stephens, Yoshida, Bertrand; Romeu, Davis; Ward-Prowse, Tadic, Redmond; Gabbiadini.
Arsenal - Cech; Holding, Mustafi, Monreal; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Xhaka, Gibbs; Özil, Sánchez; Welbeck.
