Pep Guardiola has sung the praises of Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard ahead of his Manchester City side taking on the Gunners on Wednesday. The two teams head into the game firmly locked in a battle for the Premier League title where the winner will hand themselves a great chance of lifting silverware at the end of May.
Mikel Arteta's men have struggled for form in recent weeks, drawing their last three games against Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton. Despite their slip-ups, Arsenal remain five points clear at the top, but City have two games in hand which means a win is an absolute must for the Gunners.
Someone who will undoubtedly be key to their hopes of a triumph at Etihad Stadium is Odegaard. Alongside Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, the Norway international has been integral to Arsenal's attacking success this season scoring 12 goals and grabbing seven assists.
