Arsenal icon Tony Adams has named the six players that the Gunners need to keep fit if they are going to win this season's Premier League title.
Mikel Arteta's side currently sit on top of the league standings, eight points clear of second-placed Manchester City, albeit the reigning champions have a game in hand on their title rivals. Arsenal have just ten games to go in their league campaign and Adams has now claimed that his former side need six players to play all of those matches
"Playing in the Champions League next season will be a whole new ball game for this Arsenal team," Adams told The Sun. "And it’s going to be really difficult for the current squad to compete at that level while also challenging for the title.

"We all saw what happened when Mikel rested a couple of his big boys in the Europa League the other week. The back-up players looked bang average and were played off the park by Sporting Lisbon.
"At the moment they need Bukayo (Saka), Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Oleks(ander) Zinchenko playing every week because they have a team that almost picks itself."
Next up for Arsenal is a home fixture against Leeds United on Saturday afternoon before Arteta's men play back-to-back away matches, taking on Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool at Anfield before a trip to the London Stadium to battle with West Ham United.
