One of the probably most stretched Premier League rounds ever – that started on January 18th with the Brighton vs Chelsea tie – finally is reaching its end tonight with two promising games in prospect.One of them will take place at Molineux, where the Wolves will face Arsenal in a clash of the sides just above the Champions League and Europa League spots. The Gunners are four points adrift of the fourth-placed West Ham and just two points aloft of Wolverhampton. However, the Londoners are yet to play some of their previously postponed games. Eventual victories against Wolves and in two other matches would take them quite high on the table, leapfrogging Man Utd and Chelsea.##EDITORS_CHOICE##That could prove crucial for another massively important goal – to keep Bukayo Saka at the club for at least four more years.According to Mailsports, there’s a concern that prodigious talent won’t continue his spell at Emirates if Mikel Arteta’s slot fails to qualify for the next UCL campaign.Arsenal could lose Bukayo Saka if they fail to qualify for the Champions League according to Daily Mail! 😲#Saka #Arsenal #WOLARS pic.twitter.com/J2frboMj1M— AFTV (@AFTVMedia) February 10, 2022 His current contract expires in 2024, but Liverpool and Manchester United have already shown some interest, and without a contract extension in the upcoming months, the whole thing with Saka could escalate. And push the 20-year-old winger straight in the hands of the Gunners fiercest rivals.That’s the scenario no one at Emirates would like to see. And that’s why they’ll, moreover, offer him an impressive pay rise, around KSh 5.4 million a week.WOLVES – ARSENALOn the other hand, Saka could do his fair share of effort to help his side reach the Champions League for the first time since the 2016/17 season.”I trust the players, the quality that we have, the spirit, the togetherness that we have around the team, and we can achieve what we want. We are going to need a high level of performance, we’ll need our supporters on board – that will be so key – and we will have a real go. But again, we can only go game-by-game, “explained Arteta ahead of the Wolves tie and added:”They have been really consistent and really efficient throughout the season. That is what the league table is showing with the performances they put in. So it’s a really difficult opponent, we’re going to be playing them twice [in two weeks], but we are difficult too.” PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 24Chelsea – Brighton 1-1 (0-1)/Ziyech 28 – Webster 60/Newcastle – Everton 3-1 (1-1)/Holgate 37 og, Fraser 56, Trippier 81 – Lascelles 36 og/West Ham – Watford 1-0 (0-0)/Bowen 68/Burnley – Man.
