Arsenal centre-back Laurent Koscielny believes that Southampton will not be easy to get maximum points when they host the Saints at the Emirates on Saturday.

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has warned his teammates against taking Southampton lightly on Saturday.

The Gunners will host the Premier League's bottom side at the Emirates, with the Saints having failed to pick up any points from their three games so far.

"I saw the games against Manchester City and Manchester United, and they try to play football," Koscielny told Arsenal's official website. "It is good for us, because it is better to play against a team who play like us.

"All games are difficult but it is at home so we want to [make sure] we win the game.

"We have the quality to score and win this game, so we are focused on this match."

Arsenal are currently eighth in the Premier League table with five points from three matches.
