What happened: Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said Bukayo Saka is playing 'free and relaxed' because the Achilles pain that hampered him is now gone. The comments came after Saka starred in Arsenal's win that pushed the Gunners six points clear at the top of the Premier League. Arteta added, 'I think we have the Bukayo Saka we know BACK.'

Why it matters: Saka's health is central to Arsenal's title push, with the Gunners now six points clear after his return performance. A fully fit Saka changes the ceiling of Arsenal's attack and the calculus of a tightening title race. Arteta's public confirmation that the pain has cleared removes a lingering concern that had shadowed recent matches.

What to watch: Watch Saka's minutes load and output over Arsenal's next fixtures to confirm the Achilles issue is fully behind him. Any setback would reopen questions about squad depth in wide areas down the title-race stretch.
