“I told them winter is coming and we’re going to have to react. “
Southampton have lost twice in thirteen league matches and has risen to 3 numbers from the top spot.

Ward-Prowse switched to Ings, who returned the ball to the middle of the field, who took a tap before shooting into the farthest corner for his first purpose of the season.
Adams doubled Southampton’s lead eight minutes later when Ings went crazy in front of Ben Godfrey and Yerry Mina before launching a centre at his attack partner, whose shot deviated Sigurdsson beyond Pickford.

Vardy restarts

Gunners chief Mikel Arteta may have been disappointed by his team’s lack of avant-garde.
Arteta infuriated that what seemed like a first purpose of Alexandre Lacazette’s headbutt eeled offside through Granit Xhaka.
“I’m disappointed, we had it in our hands in the first part and I don’t know how the hell Lacazette’s purpose was denied,” Arteta said.
The biggest challenge is a fall of form for Captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gabonese striker has been goalless in his last five league games, scoring Thursday against Rapid Vienna in the Europa League.
Aubameyang has scored only once in the league this season, slightly the kind of way Arteta expected after handing her a lucrative new contract in September.
Arsenal’s ability to fight for a position in the most sensible 4 is based on Aubameyang leading the rate, so this quarter has been a failure.
