Southampton will face a more spirited Arsenal side on Saturday in the Premier League as the Gunners will look to avenge last season’s damaging loss to the Saints, defender Calum Chambers has said.
Last season’s 2-0 loss crushed Arsenal’s title hopes, leaving them 13 points behind eventual champions Chelsea after just 20 games.
Arsene Wenger’s men head into the game at the St Mary’s Stadium this time on the back of four successive wins and former Southampton player Chambers is confident they will pick up the three points.
“I’m really looking forward to it. It’s always nice to go back there and see everyone,” Chambers told the club’s website (www.arsenal.com).
“I’ve got a lot of memories at the stadium and at the club so it’s always a game I look forward to when it comes around to it.
“We’ve improved our character in the team (since last season). We had good character then but right now the spirit in the team is really strong.”
