Bukayo Saka has started this game so well. He's giving Jack Hinshelwood so many problems. He doesn't know if the Arsenal winger will go on the inside or outside.

Welbeck was awesome under Sir Alex, pivotal in their many title-winning seasons. Seeing him prosper at such a charismatic Brighton team is fantastic, but also not surprising!

It's refreshingly nice to see Danny Welbeck do well.
What Brighton have done well is mange his body, he has made more appearances for Brighton than any other Premier League club.
Welbeck feels at home there.

Image source, Getty ImagesAfter Arsenal's late intervention on deadline day, Raheem Sterling has been presented with the ideal outcome and opportunity to rescue his career from cold storage.
He is able to stay in his native London and joins a club hoping to bridge the gap to Manchester City and become Premier League champions this season, with the added attraction of Champions League football.
New boss Mikel Arteta has never hidden his admiration for Sterling, saying recently: "We built a really strong relationship together at Manchester City. He was unbelievable at that time. He is someone I have really strong feelings about."
If Arteta can reignite the fire inside Sterling once more and bring him back towards his best, this shock transfer may yet be a masterstroke.
