On Thursday night, the Gunners reached the last 16 of the Europa League second leg win over BATE Borisov 3-0. But the performance was far from convincing and they will need to lift their level if they want to beat a Saints team who are fighting for points in their relegation battle. Express Sport looks at three things Arsenal must to do to win. Continue with four at the back Arsenal fans will just have to accept that with the current roster of players, they will never be defensively secure. But at least with four at the back, it allows an extra man in midfield or attack. Laurent Koscielny is set to miss out today due to injury which means a likely centre-back pairing of Shkodran Mustafi and Sokratis. Arsenal are a better team with back four and against a team that is likely to sit deep, they will need as many forward-thinking players as possible. Arsenal face Southampton at the Emirates Score an early goal With Southampton set to defend deep and in numbers, a fast start and early goal will be key. It would ease any nerves in the home crowd and perhaps force the away team out if they want to get something from the game. Arsenal scored after just four minutes on Thursday night and similar opening will have a huge impact on the rest of the game. If Arsenal are sharp and switched on, they have the quality to hurt Southampton. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has just two goals in seven games<doc-sep>
