Arsenal are second in the
Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka could be named in the squad to face Fulham in the Premier League next week.
The 23-year-old has been out since December after sustaining a hamstring tear in the win at Crystal Palace which needed surgery.
Saka’s recovery schedule has gone according to plan and he is now back in full training. However, the Gunners are continuing to be cautious with his return and will make
Bukayo Saka says he and his Arsenal team-mates are “not scared” of saying they want to win the Premier League or Champions League this season.
The Gunners have finished runners-up to Manchester City in each of the past two domestic campaigns, and head into the festive period this year third in the table – six points off top spot.
They returned to the Champions League last season after a six-year
Nick Pope, Newcastle, keeper, £5m – home to Leicester City
Newcastle have let in seven in their past two games – but hear me out!
Pope has made 54 saves this season at a rate of more than three per game, so you are almost guaranteed a save point.
And Newcastle should dominate possession against Leicester – it’s not hard to imagine a home win to nil.

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, midfielder, £10m – home to Leicester City
This man is about as reliable as they come in FPL. A return every game so far but still feels like he has yet to hit top form.
Why captain Saka over Haaland? This is a tricky call and it’s fine to play things safer with Manchester City’s star man.
Saka, who scored 16 goals last season, is an
Prior to kick-off the stadium paid an emotional tribute to former Arsenal forward Kevin Campbell, who died at the age of 54 earlier this summer.
Campbell won four major trophies at the club and was part their 1990-91 title-winning team.
And Arsenal’s first goal was arguably reminiscent of Campbell in his pomp, with Havertz darting between two defenders and powering a header past Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa.
The Germany international’s
Declan Rice (Arsenal): I can’t remember a professional footballer living with a price tag so comfortably. The sheer weight of the £105m Declan Rice cost Arsenal would have destroyed most players. However, we are dealing with a rather special individual who has improved the Gunners, and placed them in a position where they are capable of beating any team on their day.
They may not have won the title or
The biggest dilemma in gameweek 34 is what to do with the in-form players who only have a single fixture, particularly if you’re using your Free Hit chip.
Seven teams have a double gameweek – Arsenal, Liverpool, Wolves, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Everton and Sheffield United – so it makes sense to get as many of those players in your squad as possible.
But then Phil Foden, Ollie Watkins, Cole Palmer,
