Hasenhuttl’s first game in charge was not an ideal start
His Southampton managerial debut ended in defeat last weekend, with Cardiff triumphing at home on Saints’ trip to Wales, and Hasenhuttl will want to start picking up points quickly.However, a defeat of Arsenal may still not be enough to guide Southampton out of the bottom three on Sunday, dependent on results elsewhere.The Gunners, on the other hand, have their own ambitions – to move up the table.Arsenal could also increase the gap between themselves in fifth and Manchester United in sixth to a massive 11 points, further increasing the pressure on Jose Mourinho.

What the managers are saying

Ralph Hasenhuttl (Southampton): “The guys have invested a lot this week; we are talking about a style that has many new things for some of them and it is a process that doesnt change just from one day to another.”Unai Emery (Arsenal):“We are fifth and our mind is focused on being in the first four positions. I think we are doing our way and in one process improving, but the reality is that we need more.
