Arsenal will face West Ham as they look to extend their Premier League lead as Manchester City are currently three points off the top of the table. Bukayo Saka spoke about the Gunners' title race and said it all depends on them.

Manchester City's sixth consecutive league victory puts the pressure back on Arsenal ahead of the Gunners' trip to West Ham on Sunday. The sides have now played the same number of games, but Arteta's men are in action twice before they travel to the Etihad in City's next Premier League game on 26th April.

Arsenal midfielder Bukayo Saka spoke about his team's current situation and their title race: "As players, we really want to do this. We know that everything is in our hands and we just have to keep going game by game.

"If we win these last eight games and get some good results, the title can be ours, so we just have to stay focused. It's a long season and we have to be consistent all the way through, so that’s what we'll try to do," he said.

Moreover, the England international talked about the upcoming match against Manchester City: "I wouldn't say [the Man City game] is the final, but maybe the semi-final because it's massive, and so important as both teams are fighting at the top. It's really close so it'll be a massive game," Saka added.
