The Masked Singer continues Saturday night at 7pm on ITV

The left-back has been one of Arsenal’s strongest players this season, and appears to be one of the most important players in the current system.
But more importantly, Tierney has shown that fighting spirit that seems to be missing among Arteta’s ranks.
The Scotland international just needs to stay fit and keep his head down. If he does that, he's future captain material and could be the man to lead Arsenal to future glory.
Bukayo Saka

Comfortably Arsenal’s player of the season, and even in with a shout of getting in to the Premier League team of the season at this rate.
His versatility at 19 years old is just astounding - whether it’s in attack or defence, you know he will give everything he has week in, week out, and he’ll do it well.
He’s also been one of England’s best players in recent months, and just needs to show he can do it consistently over the course of the season.
Emile Smith Rowe

The attacking-midfielder reads the game brilliantly, and he could be that replacement for Mesut Ozil many have been calling for.
Now he’s fully fit again, Smith Rowe is likely to get plenty more minutes, and he could play a big role in turning the tide for the Gunners.
