They will head into the game at St Mary’s Stadium three points behind their north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, who lie fourth, and backed by the momentum generated by Saturday’s thrilling 7-3 victory over Newcastle United.



Wenger had refused to rule out his side’s hopes of forcing their way back into the title race even when Arsenal’s season was in danger of falling apart and pressure was growing on the manager’s position.
