Arsenal will be determined to return to winning ways when they face Liverpool. Mikel Arteta will lock horns with Arne Slot at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon, knowing a win could prove decisive in the Premier League title race.
Last weekend, the Gunners suffered defeat to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium while the Reds clambered to victory against Chelsea at Anfield. Arsenal and Liverpool both enjoyed wins in the Champions League during the week.
The north Londoners’ extra day of rest could be game-changing, with Bukayo Saka in a race against time to return from injury.
Speaking to Norwegian news outlet Verdens Gang, Stale Solbakken has provided a positive injury update on Martin Odegaard. The 25-year-old midfielder suffered an ankle injury while on international duty in September.
The Norway boss said: “Everything indicates that things are going according to plan. Then it is about the last steps when you are going to train with opponents and at team training. It depends on how he responds to it, but we have a justified hope that he is ready [to play next month].
