Arsenal vs Southampton: Game Thread

With another win in the bag, Southampton set their sights on a Capital One Cup date against Arsenal at the Emirates. This is Southampton's second COC match, after they defeated Millwall 2-0 last month. The Saints will be looking to progress but it won't be as straightforward as the match against Millwall, especially considering our poor record at Arsenal's home ground. The Gunners though will be fielding a weakened side, with Arsene Wenger giving chances for up-and-coming youngsters as well as senior squad members who hasn't see much game time. While Ronald Koeman will field his strongest XI with minimal changes factoring those who were injured and perhaps giving a chance for one or two youngsters.

The game kicks off at 19:45 PM BST/2:45 AM EST/11:45 PDT, and we'll have the lineups announcement from both sides closer to the kickoff. Join us here to talk about the game and if you can't watch the game, then follow us on twitter as we live tweet the match.
