Arsenal will have to guard against complacency when they face the Saints as the form of Tonda Eckert\u2019s side, who are unbeaten since January, suggest a surprise could be on the cards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The hosts have been hit with a double blow ahead of facing Arsenal with Flynn Downes and Kuryu Matsuki unavailable due to suspension after receiving their second yellow cards in the competition against Fulham last time out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Meanwhile, captain Jack Stephens is a doubt after suffering a training ground injury earlier in the week and Leo Scienza is expected to miss out as he recovers from a groin problem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Southampton vs Arsenal prediction<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
This will be a lot trickier than many expect as Southampton are in very good form and have nothing to lose which makes them a dangerous opponent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
However, with a Championship play-off spot very much achievable, perhaps the Saints my prioritise promotion back to the Premier League over a cup semi-final.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Arsenal, though, should have enough to overcome Southampton and continue their quest for trophies. We expect the visitors to get the job done and rather comfortably.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
