Arsenal’s young star Bukayo Saka is on the brink of making Premier League history as the Gunners prepare to face Leicester City this weekend.
The 23-year-old winger has been a standout performer for Arsenal this season, and Saturday’s match could see him achieve a feat that only the legendary Thierry Henry has managed in the league.

Saka set to break Henry’s record
Saka’s impact this season has been nothing short of sensational. With one goal and five assists in his first five Premier League games, the winger has tied Henry’s long-standing record of providing an assist in five consecutive games to start a season.
Now, all eyes are on Saka as he looks to surpass Henry and etch his name deeper into the Premier League’s history books.
Saka has been delivering top-notch performances consistently, notching those assists in separate matches and proving vital to Arsenal’s strong start.
His corner that led to Gabriel Magalhaes’s header against Manchester City was the assist that brought him level with the Arsenal legend. With Leicester struggling at the bottom of the table and yet to secure a win this season, the odds are in Saka’s favor to break the record.

Has Saka ever scored against Leicester?
Interestingly, Saka has never scored against Leicester in seven appearances, but he has managed to contribute with assists in the past.
Arsenal are on a four-match winning streak against the Foxes, which bodes well for the winger to make his mark once again. Leicester’s leaky defense, having yet to keep a clean sheet this season, presents a prime opportunity for Saka to shine.
