Bukayo Saka (RW) – Are we seeing the best of Saka because he isn’t being overused across multiple competitions at once? Quite possibly.

He’s still clocked up the second most minutes this season, yet the week long breaks seem to be benefiting him. He’s on another planet at the minute.

Alexandre Lacazette (ST) – Goals? Who needs goals?

Seven assists in his last nine Premier League games is a fine return for the Frenchman, who is playing his part in making the back of the net bulge for Arsenal, just in his own special way.

Gabriel Martinelli (LW) – Based on his performances over the last two games this might have been a time for Smith Rowe to come back in.
