Speaking to , the Frenchman said: “A player for me that… there are so many players I’m looking forward to seeing in the game.

“But I’m going to have to mention Bukayo Saka.

“Why? Because the way he came back from the Euros, missing that penalty, he’s never looked back since.

“And I just think that I want the team to win and all of that, but I want him to play well in that game [against Man City], play well until the end of the season and to be the player that can decide games."

Saka, 21, has been in fine form this season and has seven goals and eight assists in the Prem.
