Arsenal attacking midfielder Bukayo Saka is expected to be fit to play when the Gunners host Brentford on Saturday, according to the Evening Standard.

However, they are still sweating over the fitness of Gabriel Martinelli after he was forced off during the second half of Monday’s win over Sheffield United.

The Brazil international is due to be assessed after cutting his foot and it remains to be seen whether he will take part in the training today.

Saka is set to join his teammates as he is now feeling better after he was withdrawn at half-time against the Blades due to an illness.

The England international had been feeling ill in the build-up to the last game and was forced to go home early from training during one of the sessions last week.

He insisted on playing, weighing in with an assist in the 6-0 victory before being withdrawn.

Arsenal will be looking to make it eight straight Premier League wins when they play the struggling Bees, and they will move to the top of the table should they secure all three points.
