"Arsenal have to be at our very best in each game we play" - Odegaard

Arsenal face Everton on Wednesday and they will be looking for three points to extend their Premier League lead. Arteta's side already lost to Everton on 4th February in the English competition. For this reason, they know they cannot slip up again.

Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard spoke about his feelings ahead of the game and the captain is aware that they have to win this match: "It’s less than a month since we last played Everton and what we learned from that game is that every single team in this league is difficult to play against.

"They played really well against us in that game, defended very deep and when they attacked our box they put crosses in as soon as possible. They are a very direct team so we have to expect a lot of the same things tonight. We also learned that we have to be at our very best in each game we play, and the last time we faced them we weren’t, so it’s up to us to put that right this evening," he added.

"We don’t look at their league position because we know they got a result against Manchester City recently and they beat us, so that tells you they have a lot of quality. They are effective when they attack, they are good on set pieces as well and if you are not ready for them, they will punish you," Odegaard concluded.
