Martin Odegaard tonight makes his first start in two months as Arsenal host Brentford, while Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze are benched.
Odegaard injured his knee at the start of October and he has now returned to action, but only as a substitute. The midfielder has come off the bench in Arsenal’s last two games against Bayern Munich and Chelsea, getting 42 minutes under his belt. Odegaard now starts as the Gunners take on Brentford at Emirates Stadium.
