Both clubs are in poor form, but the Gunners are under pressure to get three points this week.
When Arsenal travels to Southampton on Saturday, they will be hoping to save their chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season.
The Gunners have dropped three points behind Tottenham in the hunt for a top-four finish after losing their last two games.
However, they will enjoy their chances of collecting three points this week, given they face a Saints team that has only one point from its last five games.

Predictions for Southampton versus Arsenal
Thomas Partey, who is expected to miss the rest of the season, is out, as are Kierney Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Mikel Arteta's team needs three points to stay in contention for a place in the top four.
They've only won one of their last four games, allowing Tottenham to leapfrog them and occupy fourth position.
Southampton may have little to play for this season, but their recent poor form has pushed them closer to the relegation zone.
They are now 12 points clear of third-bottom Burnley with seven games remaining, so they are not in serious danger of relegation at this time.
