With the international break now behind us, we're firmly in the business end of the season, and Arsenal's pursuit of three trophies promises to be an exhausting and relentless challenge.
Their ambitious dream of a historic quadruple was dealt a blow by a familiar adversary at Wembley, as Manchester City exposed Mikel Arteta's decision to start Kepa Arrizabalaga ahead of reigning Golden Glove holder David Raya between the posts.
The manner of Arsenal's loss was deeply frustrating, though the international break at least prevented that stumble from snowballing into a full-blown crisis. The squad has had time to regroup, but the Gunners head into Saturday's challenging FA Cup quarterfinal facing a potential injury headache.
It's a scenario that the in-form Southampton are well-placed to take advantage of, with Tonda Eckert's outfit going 14 matches without defeat across all competitions and comfortably seeing off Fulham in the last round. A home win would only intensify concerns that Arsenal are on the verge of another collapse.
