Saka: Arsenal ´cannot get carried away´ by Premier League title talk

Bukayo Saka has urged Arsenal not to get “carried away” by talk of the Premier League title, with a long way still to go.

Arsenal have finished as runners-up in each of the last three seasons, and in 2025-26, sit top of the pile after 11 matches, with a four-point lead over second-place Manchester City.

The Gunners are unbeaten in their last eight league games, with their five-game winning streak coming to an end thanks to their 2-2 draw with Sunderland on Saturday.

It also ended their streak of four consecutive clean sheets, as they did not concede a single goal in the month of October.

According to the Opta supercomputer, Arsenal are the current favourites to win the Premier League, which would be their first title since their invincible 2003-04 season, with a 64.1% chance of lifting the trophy.

City are their closest competitors with a 22.9% chance of finishing top of the league.

But Saka says Arsenal need to shut out the external noise and keep their heads down if they want to get their hands on the trophy.

“We just have to win every game, that’s the mentality we go into the game [with] and see where it leaves us,” he told talkSPORT.

“We cannot get carried away with what people are saying, because one day they say something and the next day they say something else.

“People’s opinion about us changes like the weather. The most important thing is our dressing room, and the foundation and the belief we have in ourselves.”

Arsenal will return to Premier League action after the international break with a north London derby against Tottenham, before hosting Bayern Munich in the Champions League and travelling to Chelsea in the top-flight.
