Arsenal 's win over Brenford at the weekend helped keep the Gunners top-four ambitions on track - largely thanks to the two Hale End graduates who have been driving the Londoners forward all season.
The impact that Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe have had on Mikel Arteta's side this season has been nothing short of phenomenal.
It's hard to imagine just where Arsenal would be without them.
Although Smith Rowe's return to the team proved to be the catalyst for a crucial victory, there are still a couple of nagging issues that could derail Arsenal's bid to end their multi-year exile from the Champions League.
One of them is the current situation regarding the Gunners captaincy, which was highlighted after Granit Xhaka seemingly refused to take the armband after Alexandre Lacazette was replaced at the weekend.
Lacazette was handed the captaincy until the end of the season after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was booted out of the club last month.
Join the debate! Do you think Arsenal giving the captaincy to Lacazette was a mistake? Let us know here.
However, a new candidate to take on the Gunners captaincy has seemingly emerged in Martin Odegaard.
Arteta seemed to hint that Aubameyang's long-term successor had perhaps already been decided when he gave the midfielder a glowing endorsement in response to the tip.
"He certainly has all the qualities to do that, absolutely," Arteta said on Odegaard after the match.
"Talking to his national team coach and how highly they speak of him. He walks through the corridor and everybody loves him.
"He is such a nice, humble guy and he leads with the way he is. It is very natural for him and that will come.
"He generated expectations when he was 16 as well. Everybody wanted him. And then he had to fulfil that in a club like Madrid where the competition is like it is.
"It is extremely difficult but now he has found his place. He is really happy here, he has the environment. He has the people, he has the time on the pitch to enjoy it and I think that is what he is doing."
But Arteta's comments have actually thrown up more questions than answers.
It's hard to fathom why, if Odegaard has the qualities to take on the armband, is Arteta set to persist with Lacazette as the club's captain until the end of the season?
The Frenchman has hardly been in scintillating form this term, but this is a question that goes beyond form; perhaps even beyond his leadership qualities.
The Gunners striker is due to be a free agent in the summer and, at present, there are no signs to suggest that situation is likely to change.
Given that Odegaard penned a long-term deal with the club back in the summer and Lacazette could be gone in a matter of months, surely the logical option would be to ease the Norwegian playmaker into the role now.
The 23-year-old is the captain for his national side, so it's hardly like Arteta would be thrusting the role onto somebody who couldn't hack the responsibility.
Tasking Odegaard with this in mid-season may not be ideal, but is it really a better option to have someone who isn't even going to be at the club next year leading the team?
It feels like Arteta has missed a trick by passing on the chance to give Odegaard the armband now.
It makes no sense to persist with a stopgap appointment until the end of the season if Odegaard has all of the qualities Arteta is searching for in a captain - and it could cost Arsenal dearly.
