Arsenal has a chance to go atop the Premier League table if it can pick up a win at tricky Southampton on Boxing Day (Watch live, 2:45 p.m. ET on NBC and online via Live Extra).

The Gunners will again turn to Joel Campbell and Olivier Giroud as potential finishers of Mesut Ozil passes when play kicks off Saturday.
