Arsenal news LIVE: Southampton draw REACTION as Saliba and Jesus flirt with Chelsea suspension ahead of Forest clash

ARSENAL failed to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table after a draw at Sothampton.

The Gunners travelled south as the Saints looked to push on from their 1-0 victory against Bournemouth last week.

They face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League next but Gabriel Jesus and William Saliba will be walking the tightrope, knowing that a booking could see them suspended for when they face Chelsea.

Bukayo Saka is said to be close to signing a new contract with Arsenal, having started the season in red hot form.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta is still reportedly wanting to strengthen his squad with Arsenal said to be favourites with AS Roma for Mykhailo Mudryk.

With the transfer window opening in January, they could look to make a move for the winger.
