Arsenal must secure victory in every remaining fixture if they are to stand a chance of winning either the Premier League or the Champions League this season. With the competition intensifying, the Gunners cannot afford any slip-ups, and their key players must perform at their best during this decisive period.
The return of Bukayo Saka to full fitness has provided a significant boost to the squad, reigniting belief among the players and fans that their campaign is far from over. The winger has been instrumental in Arsenal’s success this season, and his presence on the pitch assures the team of a stronger attacking threat. However, while Saka’s return is crucial, he is not the only player who must step up. Several other key figures must be at their best to ensure Arsenal remain competitive until the season concludes.
Martin Odegaard
With Saka back in the lineup, Arsenal will rely on Odegaard to dictate the tempo of their attacking play. As the team’s creative hub, his ability to provide assists and maintain control in midfield will be essential in breaking down opposition defences. His performances could determine how far Arsenal progress in both competitions.
William Saliba
Defensive solidity will be just as important as attacking efficiency in the final stretch of the season. With Gabriel potentially sidelined for an extended period, Saliba must step up as the leader in Arsenal’s defence. His composure, strength, and ability to read the game will be crucial in keeping the team secure at the back.
Jurrien Timber
Timber has been a reliable option for Arsenal, and with potential defensive reshuffling, he may be called upon to replace Gabriel. If Ben White moves into the centre-back role, Timber’s versatility and defensive awareness will be key in maintaining the team’s structure.
Gabriel Martinelli
Arsenal must avoid becoming overly reliant on Saka, which makes Martinelli’s contributions on the left wing vital. His pace, dribbling ability, and goal-scoring threat must be at their peak to ensure balance in Arsenal’s attack. A strong run of form from Martinelli would ease the pressure on Saka and create a more dynamic frontline.
With every game now carrying immense significance, Arsenal’s success will depend on these key players maintaining their best form. If they deliver consistently, the Gunners could yet finish the season with silverware.

I would add Raya and Partey to the list.
They all have to step up and show the level of resilience required to keep plugging away for the remainder of the season. Second place is far from guaranteed and none of us want the season to end like a complete damp squib.
Sure 👍
We won’t win all the remaining games neither will we lose all of them.
There is no “Run in”, only a couple of matches left to cap off a disappointing season.
I only hope we delay the crowning of Pool as champions, but I have the feeling they will be confirmed with 5 matches to spare.
Shame!
