Bukayo Saka will ‘keep feet on the ground’ despite emergence as Arsenal talisman, says Hector Bellerin

Hector Bellerin is convinced Bukayo Saka will keep his feet on the ground after inspiring Arsenal to another victory last night. Saka scored one goal and assisted another as Arsenal beat Southampton 3-1 at St. Mary’s to move up to eighth in the Premier League. Nicolas Pepe and Alexandre Lacazette also got on the scoresheet to cancel out Stuart Armstrong’s opener in the third minute, but it was Saka who stole the show.

Best yet to come for in-form West Ham, says defender Craig Dawson

Craig Dawson says the best is yet to come for West Ham after the Hammers climbed into the Premier League’s top four on Tuesday night. The defender, on loan from Watford, scored his first Premier League goal for West Ham to secure victory at Crystal Palace after Tomas Soucek’s brace had countered an opener from Wilfried Zaha. Michy Batshuayi scored late but the Hammers were more than deserving and could have won far more comfortably.

Win at Southampton sums up Arsenal resurgence as confident Gunners find comeback spirit

When Arsenal played Southampton a month ago, Mikel Arteta’s side were looking down the Premier League table. Victory for Arsenal over Southampton lifted them up to eighth in the Premier League and they are now somehow just five points off West Ham in fourth. The idea of Champions League qualification still seems a way off – and certainly Arteta is keen to keep expectations in check – but at least Arsenal are talking about that and not being sucked into a relegation battle.

Man United vs Sheffield Utd: Prediction, TV channel, live stream, team news, odds, h2h results – preview

Manchester United will be expecting to continue their Premier League title challenge as they host Sheffield United tonight. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side are unbeaten in the Premier League since losing to Arsenal way back at the start of November and victory over rivals Liverpool in the FA Cup at the weekend will only have added to their momentum. United face a potentially tricky trip to the Gunners next up at the weekend so will be desperate to keep their run going by taking three points against the Premier League’s bottom side.
