Overview
- After a 1-0 win at Everton, Bukayo Saka told Sky Sports that Arsenal are in control and that winning every week would keep them on top.
- Rio Ferdinand said on his Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast that Saka’s wording was wrong and that no team can claim control in such a tight race.
- Ferdinand pointed to Manchester City’s recent surge and Erling Haaland’s scoring as reasons the title picture remains fluid.
- Arsenal are two points clear of Manchester City following the Everton result, returning to first place heading into the festive fixtures.
- Some reports countered Ferdinand’s stance, arguing Saka’s comment fairly reflected Arsenal’s current position rather than a guarantee of future success.
