Southampton Premier League guide: The latest fixtures, results, team news and odds
It’s been an excellent week for Southampton who added four points to their total with a creditable home draw against West Ham and then an impressive win at Bournemouth on Wednesday. In doing so they became the first team to beat the Cherries since Scott Parker was removed as manager back in August.
Romain Perraud’s first Premier League goal was enough to earn a point against the Hammers, and then Che Adams was the hero at Bournemouth. Adams gave the Saints an early lead and his side’s defence took care of the rest.
We’ve taken a look at all you need to know about Southampton – from their next league game, to the latest football betting odds.
When is the next Southampton Premier League fixture?
Southampton are at home on Sunday against the league leaders Arsenal, kicking off at 14:00 at St. Mary’s. The Saints beat Arsenal as recently as April of this year, winning 1-0 at St. Mary’s thanks to a Jan Bednarek goal. The home side are looking to win consecutive Premier League games against Arsenal for only the second time in their history.
This is the third time that Southampton are hosting Arsenal in a Premier League match with the Gunners starting the day in pole position in the table. The Saints are unbeaten in those previous two meetings, including a 3-2 win over Arsene Wenger’s Gunners in November 2002.
What are the odds that Southampton win their next game?
Southampton are 9/2 to beat Arsenal and crank up the pressure on the Gunners at the top of the Premier League table. History suggests there are goals up for grabs in this one: the Saints have only kept one clean sheet so far this season, while Arsenal are the only side to have scored in every game. A score draw is 9/2, and a Saints win with both teams scoring is 8/1.
Southampton have kept a single clean sheet in their last 11 Premier League home games – but it did arrive against this weekend’s opponents, back in April. The Saints are 11/2 to become the first team to stop Arsenal scoring this season.
Scottish striker Che Adams got the winner at Bournemouth midweek and is 8/1 to bag the first goal of the game against Arsenal. While it’s 11/1 (was 9/1) that Adams scores in a Saints win with Enhanced Odds.

What is the latest Southampton injury and transfer news?
Ainsley Maitland-Niles is on loan at Southampton from Arsenal so is ineligible to face his parent club on Sunday. Saints fans are hopeful that Kyle Walker-Peters can shake off a minor injury in time to play, but Armel Bella-Kotchap may miss the game with a dislocated shoulder. Romeo Lavia is closing in on fitness, but this may be a week too soon, while Tino Livramento remains out until after the World Cup break.
Who are Southampton’s key players?
James Ward-Prowse is the main man at Southampton, with his spectacular goals delighting the fans. Che Adams leads the attack and Joe Aribo provides goals from midfield, while Armel Bella-Kotchap looks an astute signing – the powerful centre-back made his debut for Germany against England in September.

What are the Southampton odds to be relegated from the Premier League?
The Saints have had some solid results to start the season, not least the home win over Chelsea. However, back-to-back away defeats have seen Southampton slide down the table, and they are now 5/2 to be relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season.
Who is the manager of Southampton?
Austrian manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has been the Saints boss since 2018, and implemented a high-pressing strategy in his favoured 4-2-2-2 formation. The former RB Leipzig manager quickly endeared himself to Southampton fans, with an emphasis on bringing young players into the team.
Where is Southampton’s stadium?
St. Mary’s Stadium is Southampton’s home and opened in 2001 with the club moving from their previous ground of The Dell. It is located close to the city’s seaport and its name is a tribute to the St Mary’s Church Young Men’s association who were the original founders of Southampton Football Club.
