Is there a playmaker on the planet in better form than Bukayo Saka right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Arsenal<\/a> man laid on two and scored another as he almost single-handedly hauled the Gunners off the canvas to prevent a shock defeat to lowly Southampton<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Name a player you’d rather have when there’s a lock that needs picking. We’ll wait. The 23-year-old leads Europe’s top five leagues for assists (7), big chances created (13) and key passes (27) and his wizardry has helped put Arsenal right in the title frame heading into the international break.<\/p>\n\n

Both Arsenal and Liverpool<\/a> have two representatives in this week’s Squawka XI, but it’s West Ham United<\/a> who dominate after Julen Lopetegui masterminded a thumping win over new boys Ipswich Town<\/a>. There’s no room for fast-starters Brentford<\/a>, though, who might feel hard done by after putting five past Wolverhampton Wanderers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve used our Squawka Score to determine the 11 picks, based on the statistical leaders for metrics relevant to their positions. And we\u2019ve thrown an honourable mention XI for good measure.<\/p>\n
