Boxing Day’s Premier League action concludes at St Mary’s Stadium where Southampton play Arsenal.

Ronald Koeman’s side are without a win in six games in all competitions, while they have taken just one point from the last fifteen available to them in the league.

That run has seen them slip to twelfth place in the league and leaves them eight points off the top four though more worryingly they are just six above the bottom three.

Goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg is fit and could come back into the starting line-up with Fraser Forster still sidelined along with Jay Rodriguez and Florin Gardos.

Graziano Pelle is priced at 7.5 (13/2) to get the first goal of the game ahead of 9.0 (8/1) chance Sadio Mane.

The home win is as highly priced as the 3.75 (11/4) on offer from Paddy Power with the visitor’s favourites at a widely available 2.15 (23/20). The draw can be backed at 3.6 (13/5) with Bet 365.

Arsene Wenger’s side’s impressive 2-1 win over title favourites Manchester City last weekend kept them within two points of leaders Leicester City, and they will be keen to not lose any ground as they play this, the first of three games in a week.

Alexis Sanchez is set to miss a further few weeks at least as he has suffered a set-back in recovering from a hamstring injury while Mikel Arteta, Francis Coquelin, Jack Wilshere, Tomas Rosicky, Santi Cazorla and Danny Welbeck also remain out.

Olivier Giroud, who has six goals in his last four appearances is favourite to open the scoring here at 6.0 (5/1) with Paddy Power, with Theo Walcott a 7.5 (13/2) chance with the same firm.

Both of last season’s meetings between the sides ended in home wins to nil, while five of the previous eight clashes have featured fewer than three goals.

You can back under 2.5 goals this time around at 1.91 (10/11) with Betfred, while with both sides in such different runs of form you may fancy the away win without conceding at an intriguing 3.8 (14/5) with Bet Victor.
