Oliver Glasner has spotted one thing Arsenal star Bukayo Saka ‘doesn’t like’ doing in games
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has a plan to stop Arsenal star Bukayo Saka at Selhurst Park.
The Eagles suffered a 3-2 defeat against Mikel Arteta’s side in the EFL Cup on Wednesday. A Gabriel Jesus hat-trick won Arsenal the game.
The two sides meet each other again, this time in the Premier League at Selhurst Park. Glasner would love nothing more than to get some revenge on Saturday.
Saka will be Arsenal’s main man, and Glasner thinks he knows how to contain the Arsenal number seven.
Oliver Glasner names one thing Arsenal star Bukayo Saka ‘doesn’t like’ doing
Saka has been Arsenal’s best player since the start of the season.
The England international has directly contributed to 22 goals in 23 appearances this term. He averages a goal or an assist every 82 minutes, which is a stunning return for a wide player.
Saka, hailed as ‘starboy’ by Emile Smith Rowe, came on as a substitute when Crystal Palace faced Arsenal in the EFL Cup midweek. The 23-year-old picked up an assist then, but he would surely love to do more at Selhurst Park.
Glasner knows that Saka will start on Saturday, and the Crystal Palace boss already has a plan to stop the Arsenal number seven from having any joy in attack.
