Bukayo Saka was injured when Liverpool defeated Arsenal 1-0 at the start of this Premier League season. Fortunately, for Gunners fans, this was not a sign of things to come. Arsenal have been top of the division for some time now, and could go eight points clear with a win over the Reds tonight.
The clash with Liverpool could still be tricky. The Reds won the Premier League last season at Arsenal's expense. Liverpool fans even mocked Mikel Arteta with a banner that read "always the bridesmaid, never the bride." This was in reference to the Gunners being runners-up in the Premier League on three straight occasions.
Arsenal finished second to Manchester City twice before they did to Liverpool. City has slipped up this season, with two draws in its last two games. This has opened the door for Arsenal to make a real statement tonight.
Arteta has pumped up his supporters with a rallying cry in a social media post on Arsenal's official channels. However, it is the players who will have to do it on the pitch.
Bukayo Saka could be the man for Arsenal once again
Saka has a very good record for Arsenal against Liverpool. He has scored in each of his last three Premier League home games against the Reds. No Arsenal player has ever scored in four consecutive home games against Liverpool, so Saka could make history tonight.
Saka has received criticism from Gary Lineker this season. However, he is a former Tottenham Hotspur player, so Gunners fans will have to take what he says with a pinch of salt.
The winger has still scored four goals with five assists in 18 Premier League games this season. As Viktor Gyokeres is yet to hit the ground running, the Gunners have needed to produce goals throughout their lineup.
The match between the two sides earlier in the season was a very tight affair before Dominic Szobozlai's free-kick late on. Arsenal would take a goal from anywhere to win this game. The Gunners are known for scoring from set-pieces, and they now have Gabriel Magalhães back to be a threat from them.
There is a worry that winning the Premier League means so much to Arsenal that they could be trying too hard. The weight of pressure is immense as they have come so close in the last three campaigns. Tonight is just one game, but it could be a title decider.
