EKO HOT BLOG reports that Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has issued a warning to the Gunners’ rivals, stating that they will not fear any opponent in their Premier League title race.
The North London club currently sit at the top of the Premier League table with 11 games remaining, eight points clear of Manchester City pending their game in hand.
Despite the difficult fixtures ahead, Saka believes that Arsenal can go to any ground with great belief and win. “Martin [Keown] was urging caution. I was saying, ‘look, when I look at you in the squad, you’ve got to go to Manchester. You should go to Liverpool with great belief,’” Saka said in an interview.
The Gunners will face Liverpool as their next opponents, with Manchester City, Chelsea, and Newcastle United also lined up in the space of four weeks. However, Saka believes that the team has what it takes to win against any of these teams. “Martin thinks that I’m getting ahead of the game, but you must be going to those grounds thinking we can win here,” he added.
Arsenal’s impressive run of form has seen them climb to the top of the table, with manager Mikel Arteta’s tactics and the performances of their key players being praised by fans and pundits alike. Saka has been one of Arsenal’s standout performers this season, contributing five goals and three assists in 22 league appearances.
The Gunners have not won the Premier League title since the 2003-04 season, famously going unbeaten throughout the campaign. However, with the team currently in a strong position, Saka’s confidence and belief could prove to be vital in their pursuit of silverware this season.
Arsenal will look to continue their winning run when the international break ends, with one of their travels being to Anfield to face Liverpool. The Reds have been struggling for form in recent weeks, but will be hoping to bounce back with a win against the league leaders.
“Martin [Keown] was urging caution. I was saying, ‘look, when I look at you in the squad, you’ve got to go to Manchester.
“‘You should go to Liverpool with great belief.’ Martin thinks that I’m getting ahead of the game, but you must be going to those grounds thinking we can win here.”
