Saka edges Salah in ratings
With an impressive average match rating of 7.68 out of 10, the 22-year-old England international's consistent displays on the right flank have been pivotal in Arsenal's emergence as a title contender.
Saka's contributions have underscored his importance to the Gunners' success this campaign. His intelligent movement, pinpoint delivery, and growing threat in front of goal have garnered acclaim.
His impressive showing for Mikel Arteta’s men has culminated in his top ranking according to a post by the statistics guru, WhoScored on X.com.
Salah reigns in goals contributed
However, while Saka's stellar performances have earned him the statistical crown, it's Liverpool's Mo Salah who reigns supreme in direct goal contributions.
The Egyptian forward's prolific form sees him leading the charts with an impressive tally of 15 goals and 9 assists in just 21 appearances, narrowly eclipsing Saka's combined 19 goals and assists in 24 games.
Salah's relentless attacking output has been instrumental in Liverpool’s rise to the top of the table, highlighting his status as one of the Premier League's most feared forwards.
Salah's clinical finishing and creative ability have served as a reminder of his unrivalled impact in the final third, helping Jurgen Klopp and his Reds open up a four-point lead in the race for the title.
While Saka's statistical dominance reflects his emergence as a key figure for Arsenal, Salah's unparalleled goal contributions reinforce his status as one of the league's premier talents and greats.
While the title race heats up, both players will undoubtedly continue to captivate audiences with their electrifying performances, leaving fans eagerly waiting to see which of the players will lead his team to the coveted title.
