Former Chelsea star and football pundit, Chris Sutton, has expressed his fears for Arsenal in the absence of Bukayo Saka, as they prepare to face Brentford in the Premier League on New Year day.
Sutton, a pundit with BBC, predicted Arsenal to pick up a 1-0 win from their trip to West London.
The Gunners will be without Saka after the Englishman underwent surgery for a hamstring tear he suffered against Crystal Palace earlier this month.
Saka will be out for some, and this could jeopardise Arsenal’s title aspirations due to his importance to the team.
Sutton wrote on BBC, “I am worried about Arsenal without Bukayo Saka, who has been ruled out for more than a couple of months.
“On top of that, Brentford away is obviously a very tough test when you consider how phenomenal the Bees have been at home this season.
“But I am backing the Gunners to run Liverpool close in the title race this season and, because of that, I am going with them to win this game, somehow.”
