Southampton’s arrival on Saturday (3pm UK) brings the curtain now on a run of seven games in 20 days, during which time we’ve extended our unbeaten run from nine to 15 games - and the omens are strong when it comes to stretching it further.

You have to go back to November 1987 for the last time they left our corner of north London with a victory, and while Russel Martin’s team are aiming for a first victory back in the elite, Mikel Arteta will be fully focused on heading into the break with our red-hot momentum intact.
