Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is bracing for a heated encounter when his side takes on Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
With both teams striving for the top spot in the Premier League, the rivalry has grown fierce, particularly after last season’s title race, where the Gunners finished just behind City.
Reflecting on the intense nature of the fixture, Odegaard said, “In games like this, emotions run high, and adrenaline takes over. It’s part of the sport. When you step onto the pitch, you’re fighting for your team and for the title. There should always be a little bit of heat in these kinds of battles.”
Despite the fiery atmosphere, Odegaard emphasized that relationships off the pitch remain friendly, with many players knowing each other from international duty. However, on the field, it’s all about competition.
As Arsenal look to maintain their position just behind Liverpool, and City aim to close the gap, this Premier League clash is set to be another thrilling chapter in their rivalry.
