Xhaka on being Arsenal captain

Granit Xhaka has opened up on whether he will captain Arsenal again, having enjoyed a resurgence in form over the past few months.

“I would never say never,” he told Sky Sports ahead of Arsenal’s trip to West Ham on Sunday. “I wasn’t ready for that yet.

“An Arsenal captain can be without an armband and I try to run the game and the players without an armband, but if tomorrow someone from the football club comes and asks me if I want to take it, I’ll be there because I know that I am ready to do it again.

What’s behind Granit Xhaka’s return to form?

The Swiss midfielder has been voted Arsenal’s Player of the Month for April, so what’s behind his good form?

“(It’s due to) things that happen in his life, his private life, he’s a father now,” Mikel Arteta said.

“He’s been through a lot, he’s been through some tough times here, he’s found a lot of internal support to deal with certain situations.

“His character, his way of approaching problems, his desire to change things, to constantly improve, to become a better person and a better player, so let’s congratulate him for what he has done.

Is Saka Arsenal’s No.1 penalty taker?

The Arsenal graduate has come out on top in recent weeks and Mikel Arteta has confirmed Saka as his first choice.

“Well, tomorrow if someone has to take a penalty, they will,” said the Spaniard.

“Again but it happened quite naturally in the Chelsea game, he took it and the next game we had another one and hopefully he can keep putting the ball deep in the fillets.”

Head-to-head record

Recent history does not bode well for West Ham.

Arsenal have won four of the last five meetings between these two, with one draw as well.

The last time West Ham won a game against Arsenal was the 1-0 win in January 2019. Declan Rice scored the winner that day.
