Can Bukayo Saka rediscover his form from last year?

Our stay boy has been overshadowed in the early part of the season by Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli, yet Arsenal has still been winning games.

While Saka’s form is not bad by any means compared to last year, there has been a significant drop-off as he has only scored once and grabbed two assists in seven games in all competitions. He has shown flashes of his quality at times, but not consistently.

Is the game against Brentford when he will finally show us his superb ability? Given that, more often than not, he is now double-teamed by defenses, there has been little wriggle room for him.

It presents a golden chance for Saka to announce that he is back for the Gunners and put forth a scintillating display.
