Talking Points of the Weekend

Is Bukayo Saka becoming Arsenal's go-to man?


It's starting to feel like that after another good performance at the weekend against Aston Villa where he also scored the winning goal. He's their joint top goal scorer in the league alongside Emile Smith Rowe with 9 and has really stepped up in recent games with the performances he's been producing.


It's hard to believe that he's still 20 years of age because he plays the game like he's been around for a long time. He's played over 100 games for his club and has played over 10 times for England which is quite astonishing for someone his age. He's been an important player for Arsenal ever since he broke into the first team a couple of seasons ago and is likely to be for the next few years if he carries on progressing the way he has done.


With the potential he has along with the way he's been playing over the last couple of seasons, he could well be Arsenal's main man both short term and long term.


Is West Ham's place in Europe under threat?


West Ham's defeat to Spurs on Sunday left them six points outside the top four in 7th and it also left them just two points ahead of 8th placed Wolves. They've kept themselves in the the race for the top four all season which deserves a lot of credit but with Wolves not too far behind them; Is their place in Europe next season under threat?


Their form over the last couple of months as been a bit inconsistent and one reason for that could be down to the amount of games they've played catching up with them. Their performances haven't been what they were at the start of the season and being in Europe has definitely played a part because they haven't got a big squad and their players have been feeling a bit tired as a result of that.


If their inconsistent form carries on after the international break, they could potentially finish outside the European places. This is because Wolves are just a couple of points and can overtake them plus they've got more European football coming up in their Europa League Quarter Final against Lyon which could potentially take more out of their players.
