Bukayo Saka sends wordless Arsenal message before Man City Premier League title clash

Bukayo Saka will be needed at his very best if Arsenal are to take any points off Manchester City in their Premier League clash this weekend. The Gunners are already off the pace after dropping points at home to Brighton and a defeat at Etihad Stadium would put them at a significant disadvantage even so early on into the season.

Man City failed to pick up a win in their opening European fixture though they have an extra day to prepare on Arsenal and also far less travelling. Just three days prior to their major title showdown, the Gunners began their Champions League journey with a goalless draw in Italy against Atalanta.

Arsenal failing to find the back of the net, saw Saka's streak of goal contributions end, though he will be hoping to make an impact this weekend. The fact Saka even featured in Bergamo was a boost after he hobbled off against Tottenham the previous weekend.

With the City fixture on the horizon, the England international was withdrawn after 73 minutes and replaced by Raheem Sterling. Following this Sunday's game, the Gunners have four fixtures in 11 days and keeping Saka fit will be vital to picking up maximum points.

In the wake of Arsenal's trip to Atalanta and their impending battle against Man City, Saka posted a photo on his Instagram story of him in action.
