Mikel Arteta believes Bukayo Saka's current form and determination will provide Arsenal with a crucial "edge" this season. Saka, who took only one week off in the summer, has started the campaign strongly, scoring against Coventry. Arteta feels Saka is eager to compensate for an Achilles issue that hampered him last term, despite Arsenal's title success. The manager is set to reach his 250th Premier League match against Aston Villa, where he will face former Arsenal boss Unai Emery. Arteta boasts a better win percentage than Arsene Wenger, Rafael Benitez, and Mauricio Pochettino, and a win would bring him close to Sir Alex Ferguson's record for wins in his first 250 top-flight games. David Raya, Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Declan Rice were named in the PFA Team of the Year, highlighting the team's strength.
