Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka could equal a Premier League club record set by Ian Wright in Sunday's clash with West Ham United.

Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka could equal a club record set by Ian Wright when the Gunners face West Ham United in Sunday's Premier League clash.

The 20-year-old now has 11 goals to his name in the 2021-22 top-flight campaign - the last two of which have come from the penalty spot against Chelsea and Manchester United.

Despite his Euro 2020 penalty woes, Saka stepped up at Stamford Bridge to send Edouard Mendy the wrong way before repeating the trick against David de Gea in last weekend's 3-1 win.

Should Saka convert another penalty in Sunday's game at the London Stadium, he will become only the second Arsenal player to score from 12 yards in three consecutive Premier League matches.

Arsenal's second-highest scorer of all-time Wright is the only Gunner to have done so previously in the 1993-94 season, netting from the spot against Oldham Athletic, Ipswich Town and Southampton - scoring hat-tricks against the latter two.

Saka is already the youngest-ever player to score penalties in back-to-back Premier League games, and the England international is expected to be fit for the West Ham clash despite an injury scare against Man United.

The Gunners head into Sunday's game fourth in the table on 60 points, but they could be leapfrogged by Tottenham Hotspur a couple of hours before they take to the field at the London Stadium.
