Arsenal have their own 'Lionel Messi' to help Mikel Arteta follow in Arsene Wenger's footsteps and lift the Premier League trophy. The Gunners hold an eight-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table heading into the international break with just 10 games left to play.
City have been dealt a major injury blow this week as Erling Haaland had to be withdrawn from Norway's squad to face Spain and Georgia. The 22-year-old has scored 42 goals for Pep Guardiola's side in all competitions but could now be set for a period of time on the sidelines after sustaining a groin injury.
Arsenal stars Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka are among those in Arteta's squad that have been selected for international duty. The Hale End graduate joined the likes of Lionel Messi, Neymar, Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Randal Kolo Muani in being the only players to register 10+ goals and 10+ assists this season.
