Arsenal transfer target makes legend think twice about Southampton prediction | OneFootball

Paul Merson leaves the door open for Southampton's win over Wolves on Saturday.

There is no denying that Arsenal's Premier League standing has gone strength to strength in recent years. As a result, sharing transfer interests with them becomes a matter of pride for the comparatively underperforming teams.

Southampton know it much better having lured Aaron Ramsdale from them during the previous summer. Further, their opponents Wolves are also tipped to be the next ones to do business with the London outfit regarding Matheus Cunha's potential exit.

As enthusiastic Wolves would be thinking about the hefty transfer payday, the attacker might let them down tomorrow. On the other hand, Southampton's camp will be relishing the benefits of meeting a Cunha-less attack throughout the ninety minutes.

The positives don't stop here, though. What if the Saints go the extra mile to inflict a frustrating defeat on their bottom table neighbours?

Southampton tipped to achieve double digit points after Wolves

Understandably, this thought has swayed the agonizing morale away from the Saints. To the extent that Arsenal hero Paul Merson is left in a limbo regarding Southampton's home game prediction.

Talking in his Sportskeeda column, Merson said: "Southampton have been poor all season but I just can't blindly back Wolves to get the win in this one. I say that because Wolves will be without Matheus Cunha."

First of all, it feels like ages since the Saints received a matchday roundup in their favor. In fact, the last time Southampton was expected to perform well was that Ipswich Town trip which the team ended up winning.

Thus, another such triumph isn't ruled out with only a day to go before the match. As an added benefit, Southampton will also surpass the double digits point mark should they nullify the visitor's goalscoring attempts.

Ultimately, let's remain optimistic about Southampton securing the three points from St. Mary's.
