TRIBUNJOGJA.COM – Arsenal will host Southampton at the Emirates Stadium in Week 32 of the Premier League tonight, to be precise Saturday, April 22 2023, at 02.00 WIB. The home game against Southampton is Arsenal’s chance to get back away from their closest rival, Manchester City.
Arsenal are currently still at the top of the Premier League standings with 74 points, followed by Manchester City, who are only 4 points apart.
Arsenal’s position at the top is not yet safe to win the Premier League title. The reason is, Manchester City still has one more game remaining than Arsenal.
Therefore, Arsenal must win over Southampton in Week 32 of the Premier League tonight if they don’t want to be overtaken by Pep Guardiola’s team.

Arsenal’s mission will certainly not be easy considering the previous match’s capital was only two points from two Premier League matches.
Arsenal drew 2-2 in their last two matches against Liverpool and West Ham United in the Premier League.
Entering Southampton this time, Mikel Arteta’s team had to get up and secure three points at home so they could stay away from the pursuit of Man City.
Arsenal’s chances are actually big enough to be able to get three points, considering that Southampton is currently in a slump and is in 17th place in the Premier League standings.
