Hot streak for United

Gunners firing with Saka on song

Arsenal, in seventh, also head into this week’s fixtures looking for a fourth successive league win – they welcome Leicester to the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. Saturday’s 2-0 victory at Wolves saw Bukayo Saka, 18, shine once again as he notched his first Premier League goal with a fine finish, three days on from signing a new contract. Certainly there is some exciting young English talent making a mark in the league at the moment, with 19-year-old Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones another to break his top-flight duck at the weekend shortly after signing a new deal, and the likes of Greenwood and Manchester City’s Phil Foden also excelling of late.
