Saka looks a cracker

- Last week: Winner at 21/20

BUKAYO SAKA can help Arsenal make light work of Leicester.

The toiling Foxes, who will be without Jamie Vardy, have already had to play eight more games than the Gunners. The Europa Conference League is many things, but it’s no holiday.

Arsenal’s break from the treadmill is proving to be the making of them. They are on track to pick up a dozen or so more points in the Prem than last season – when they played 14 games in the Europa.

Mikel Arteta has had a year to hothouse his crop of youngsters without needing to pile on the heavy manure. Everything’s coming up roses for the likes of young Norway captain Martin Odegaard and Saka (above). The England star is worth an ‘anytime’ nibble today at 5/2 (Paddy) on his stats.

I like the look of Stuart Armstrong ‘anytime’ at 9/2 (Hills, Fred) when Southampto­n welcome leaky Watford (2pm) but mind your Armstrongs – Saints have a couple.
