Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has dismissed talk of a title challenge.
Indeed, Hasenhuttl has insisted it would be "stupid" to think high-flying Southampton could go to struggling Arsenal as favourites.
Asked if his side would run out as favourites, he said: "No. I don't anybody expects that we'll go there and dominate them, nobody expects this. It would be stupid to think it.
"I don't feel we are favourites going to Arsenal. Nobody wants to be the favourite, but favourite or not favourite, it's not really interesting for the game.
"The mentality must be that we are convinced about what we are doing and find a good balance of not forgetting about the basics which have brought us to this situation that we are in now."
