Bukayo Saka, an Arsenal winger, acknowledged that the team now has a “fantastic possibility” to win the Premier League championship this year after securing a seven-point advantage.
On New Year’s Eve, Saka scored in the Gunners’ 4-2 victory over Brighton, while Pep Guardiola’s team was restricted to a 1-1 draw against Everton at home.
Saka told the media following the game, “[The seven-point advantage] sounds wonderful.
Of course, if you had asked us at the beginning of the season if we wanted this, we would have bit your hand off.
We have a fantastic opportunity to win the Premier League title, and we are in a fantastic position.
“That is not our current point of attention.”
The high-flying Newcastle United, who lost to Leeds United this past weekend, will face Arsenal in their next match.
