4. Bukayo Saka
Not that Mikel Arteta needs any reminding but Bukayo Saka is a non-negotiable starter. In fact, it is getting to the point now where we can say with absolute confidence that Bukayo Saka will start in every game, providing he is at least 25% fit.
The trend started last season, where Mikel Arteta was insistent that the best players play every available minute. He has taken it to the extreme with Bukayo Saka, who will be a crucial player to Arsenal in every match between now and the end of the season.
Fun fact: No Arsenal player has made more appearances under Mikel Arteta than Bukayo Saka.
As the only Arsenal player who has scored against Tottenham this season, Saka will be hungry to add to his tally in this North London derby. After all, he is the top scorer in the Premier League for Arsenal, scoring an impressive 14 league goals this season.
