Bukayo Saka is BACK

English talisman Bukayo Saka has returned from his hamstring injury and makes the squad to face Fulham tonight.

Saka has been out of action since Arsenal's win over Crystal Palace before the turn of the year.

Now, as Arteta's side gear up for the run-in, Saka has given them a HUGE boost.

He only makes the bench tonight, but his return will be a big boost for Arteta and Arsenal as they prepare to take on Real Madrid in the Champions League.

London calling

The Emirates plays host to a HUGE Premier League clash this evening.

Fulham travel across the capital to take on the Gunners at 7:45pm BST.

The Cottagers are looking to bounce back, having been dumped out of the FA Cup 3-0 by fellow Londoners Crystal Palace last weekend.

Marco Silva's side still have it all to play for, just four points off Chelsea in fourth place in the Premier League.

For Mikel Arteta's side, Champions League qualification looks all but secured now.

However, they need to pick up some points, if they are to challenge Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.

Arne Slot's side have a healthy lead, but Arsenal could put a dent in that lead with three points tonight.
