Live in-play betting – 

The Premier League returns and Arsenal are back in the top 4 race after their victory of Manchester United at the weekend.

Southampton earned a credible draw at Liverpool over the weekend – they are currently 10th in the league table with 42 points after 34 games,.

They are 3 points behind 8th placed West Brom but the baggies have played a game more than them.

They have drawn their last 2 games – they also have only 1 win from their last 4 home games in the league and they have not scored a goal in their last 2 home games.

Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Manchester United has opened up the top 4 race – they can now genuinely qualify for the Champions league if other matches’ results go their way.

The Gunners are currently 6th in the league table with 63 points from 34 games this season.

They have won 4 of their last 6 league games and they have 3 wins from their last 3 home league games.

Away from home, they have not been convincing – they have lost 4 of their last 5 away games in the league and they conceded at least 2 goals in those losses.

Despite Arsenal’s away form not being great, bookmakers make them favourites to come out on top in this tie (2.05).

Southampton are currently trading at odds of 3.60 while the draw is 3.80 for those who see Southampton drawing 3 games in a row.
