Southampton took the FA Cup crown from Arsenal this weekend, defeating them with a both at Gabriel’s own door. There was not much doubt about the victory of the Saints, since they were the best team and, despite the short score, they hardly put it in danger at any time.
The success of winning the FA Cup cannot be repeated for Londoners, who they have to focus from now on the Premier League and soon in the Europa League, as the only titles they can win. On his return to the league, Mikel Arteta’s men are waiting for Southampton again and again at Saint Marys.
The Saints have become one of the rockier teamsAlthough their place in the standings has been affected by a bad run of results in December and it is that in that period they only won one of six games.
Now they seem to have recovered their positive inertia with two triumphs in the cup and on top of that they play at home, where their results place them as one of the four best teams in the competition.
In front will be Arsenal, who saw their unbeaten streak broken, of more than 500 minutes, as well as six games in a row without losing. The question for Arteta’s men is whether they can count on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Dani Ceballos. The Spanish has been touched in recent weeks, while the Gabonese rested in the glass of some minor annoyances and could be back for this Tuesday.
Both teams score yes 1.70
