Team News
Southampton
Southampton striker Armando Broja will make a timely return to the squad after he was ineligible to face parent club Chelsea, which should see Adam Armstrong return to the bench on Saturday.

Shane Long, Alex McCarthy and Lyanco are all in with chances of returning from their injury problems to make the squad this weekend, and Hasenhuttl is sure to consider alterations after last week's embarrassment.

Oriol Romeu was hauled off after just 36 minutes against the Blues and could now cede his place in midfield to Ibrahima Diallo, and Theo Walcott will likely start on the bench against his former club.
Southampton possible starting lineup:
Forster; Livramento, Salisu, Bednarek, Walker-Peters; S. Armstrong, Diallo, Ward-Prowse, Elyounoussi; Adams, Broja

Arsenal
Meanwhile, Arsenal are already confirmed to be without Tierney for the rest of the season, while Partey also remains in the medical bay, and Tomiyasu will not return to team training until after Saturday's game.

The Granit Xhaka left-back experiment did not work in the slightest against Brighton, so Arteta may elect to bring Nuno Tavares back into the defence as Xhaka returns to the midfield alongside Albert Sambi Lokonga.

Alexandre Lacazette has not scored in the Premier League from open play since the home clash with Southampton in December and was also absent from training earlier this week for private reasons, so either Gabriel Martinelli or Eddie Nketiah may lead the line this weekend, but Arteta is still confident of having his captain available.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; Cedric, White, Gabriel, Tavares; Xhaka, Lokonga; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Lacazette
Prediction: Southampton 1-3 Arsenal

Somebody explain to me the rules of the game of football. I've tried to look it up a million times on the Internet but there are all kinds of obscure words and definitions. I just want to understand a little bit of what's what and what's the meaning of what's going on on the field. I like to watch football purely for aesthetic reasons but the only thing I know is what a football replay is and nothing else. I wish I understood more though.
