Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is set to meet compatriot Erling Haaland in the coming days as the Gunners travel north to face Manchester City on Wednesday. The pair have been crucial to their teams and the push for the Premier League title this season, with perhaps the biggest deciding factor still to come.
Mikel Arteta has led his side to a five point lead at the top of the table, however a run of three consecutive draws has made some cause for concern. The latest was a 3-3 thriller against Southampton, which means that City could leapfrog them if they manage to win both games in hand.
That could soon change though, with the head-to-head between both sides handing yet another potential twist in the tale for this campaign. "I don’t see a lack of confidence," Arteta said when asked if he needs to build his team up again for the trip to the Etihad Stadium.
