Arsenal stars Gabriel Magalhaes and Bukayo Saka are busy at work at London Colney ahead of their game against Brentford on Saturday.

The Gunners have only played once this month and picked up a very impressive victory over Wolves. Mikel Arteta’s side will be well-rested and the game against the Bees is a must-win.

Arsenal fans will remember the first game of the season when they suffered a humiliating defeat to Brentford. That loss gave rise to doom and gloom around the Emirates, but Arteta has turned things around.

The North Londoners are the favourites for the fourth spot after Manchester United and Tottenham slipped up in recent weeks. That should be enough motivation for the Gunners to go and pick up a win on Saturday.

Arsenal star Gabriel Magalhaes pulls off incredible no-look nutmeg on Bukayo Saka

Arteta had all Arsenal players working their socks off at London Colney this week ahead of the game at the Emirates on Saturday.

In a practice session, Gabriel receives the ball from midfield and is immediately closed down by Saka. The Brazilian keeps his cool, rolls the ball to his right and pulls off a fantastic no-look nutmeg on the Arsenal youngster.

What Gabriel did there will not be an option in the game on Saturday but it’s still a fantastic watch for everyone – well, everyone but Saka, who wouldn’t want to see that clip again.

Watch the nutmeg below!

A must-win game for the Gunners

Arsenal have absolutely no distractions now, there are 16 games left in the season and if they perform well in most of those fixtures, they will finish in the top four.

The Gunners are currently just four points behind fourth-place Manchester United. However, Arteta’s men have three games in hand over the Red Devils and a superior goal difference as well.

£23 million signing Gabriel and Hale End sensation Saka are almost guaranteed to start for the Gunners against Brentford on Saturday and if both players have a good game, Arsenal will most likely get their revenge on the Bees and pick up the win.
