The goal scorer for the Gunners in the last matchup between the two sides will look to build off that performance and get his side all three points this time. He is coming off a solid performance midweek in the Europa League where Arsenal won 3-0 in a match that was a must win for them if they want to lift the Europa League trophy at the end of the season.

The Armenian international only has 4 goals in the league this season but half of those came against Southampton at St. Mary’s. Arsenal are not in the title hunt but are still trying to finish in the top 4 and will look to take care of business at home. These three players will be the key to their success especially with a shaky defense behind them.
