Takehiro Tomiyasu starts again at left back for Arsenal as they travel to St. Mary's to take on Southampton in the Premier League.

The Japan international has generally been preferred to Kieran Tierney over the past few weeks and controversially gets the nod yet again in the absence of Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Arsenal starting XI vs Southampton - Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Partey; Xhaka, Odegaard; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.
