Player to watch – Bakayo Saka

Saka leads the way on goals and assists for Arsenal in the Premier League this season and we're expecting another excellent display from the England international on Saturday.

Saka has been Arsenal's best attacking player this season, that can't be argued, scoring 13 times in the Premier League as well as providing eight assists. Havertz and Trossard are his nearest competitors in terms of goals and they have scored seven each, while Odegaard has managed six assists so far.

Will Arsenal's best player shine once again this weekend?

In what is expected to be an open, end-to-end 90 minutes at the Emirates Stadium, we're backing Saka to score, provide an assist or possibly both as Arsenal look for the win that will take them top of the table.
