Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Arsenal could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Southampton.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is hopeful that Bukayo Saka will be fit for Sunday's Premier League contest with Southampton at St Mary's.

The 21-year-old took a kick to the calf in Thursday's 1-0 win over PSV Eindhoven in the Europa League, which sealed the Gunners' place in the knockout rounds, and he was not moving comfortably afterwards.

Arteta will give Saka every chance to prove his fitness for Sunday's battle, but Mohamed Elneny (hamstring) and Emile Smith Rowe (groin) are absent, and Oleksandr Zinchenko remains a slight doubt with his calf problem.

Matt Turner was left relatively untroubled against PSV and will hand the gloves back over to Aaron Ramsdale for this game, as William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes reunite in front of him.

Ben White is sure to return at right-back, which could see Takehiro Tomiyasu revert to his new-found role on the left flank, forcing Kieran Tierney out of the team in the process.

Fresh from scoring his first-ever right-footed goal for the Gunners, Granit Xhaka will join forces with Thomas Partey in the middle, as Martin Odegaard comes back in for Fabio Vieira.

Vieira and Reiss Nelson will be on standby if Saka is not passed fit, but the current indications are that the four-goal Englishman will be fine to take his place with Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus up front.

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus
