Southampton are going very well within the Championship and are unbeaten in 14 video games in all competitions, though I’ve received to say Norwich performed them off the park regardless of shedding 1-0 in March.
Saints received very fortunate in that recreation and they’re going to want a component of luck right here too – though I’m not positive Arsenal can have sufficient match gamers to place out a workforce due to the damage disaster that affected them in the course of the worldwide break.

The Gunners have gotten a Champions League tie on the horizon too – they play Sporting on Tuesday – however an important factor for Mikel Arteta’s aspect is that they get again on monitor after shedding the Carabao Cup remaining final trip.
Arsenal have been second finest within the second half at Wembley and though Arteta would possibly save a couple of gamers for the journey to Portugal, he has to take this tie severely and discover a technique to win. In the event that they lose it, individuals are going to begin speaking about Arsenal’s bottle once more.
St Mary’s has offered out and Saints want to mark the fiftieth anniversary of their well-known FA Cup remaining overcome by heading again to Wembley for the semi-finals.
I do not see them making it, nevertheless. As an alternative I’m going for a similar scoreline we noticed when these sides met within the 2003 remaining, and Arsenal got here out on high.
Sutton’s prediction: 0-1
