Martin Odegaard has insisted that Arsenal "enjoy the pressure" of sitting top of the Premier League table with nearest challengers Manchester City five points away. The Gunners have picked up maximum points in 14 of their opening 17 games, only dropping points against Manchester United, Southampton and Newcastle.
Prior to the draw against Newcastle in Arsenal's last league outing, Mikel Arteta's side had not let one point slip from their seven games at Emirates Stadium, but the Gunners were prevented from scoring for their first time in the league this season by Eddie Howe's sturdy Newcastle defence.
The attacking quartet, that Odegaard is at the heart of, also involving Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus made a flying start to the season, but following an injury suffered by Jesus at the World Cup their joy in the frontline was thrown into doubt.
