William Saliba catalyst for title push

I've stated previously that had William Saliba been fit last season that Arsenal would have won the league and now with the Frenchman fully firing, the Gunners are upto their eyeballs in it.

But perhaps more than that, it's been Saliba's performances against the "big six" that stand out the most. Often, the title race is decided by how teams fare against the other challengers, and for Saliba, he's been world class.

Is it a coincidence? Possibly but there can be no denying that Saliba has played a huge role in being the centerpeice of Arsenal's defensive steel along with Gabriel.

His performance against United was again sublime and was one of the reasons the title race has gone down to the final day.
