Arsenal will be determined to win again when they meet Liverpool. Mikel Arteta will face Arne Slot at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon, with a result potentially determining the Premier League title fight.

Last Saturday, Arsenal lost to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium, while Liverpool defeated Chelsea at Anfield. Arsenal and Liverpool both won Champions League games this week.

The extra day of recovery for the north Londoners might be crucial, especially for Bukayo Saka, who is recovering from an injury. Football.london has compiled a list of the most recent Arsenal news and transfer gossip.

Norway’s boss provides Odegaard

According to Norwegian news site Verdens Gang, Stale Solbakken has issued an encouraging injury update on Martin Odegaard. The 25-year-old midfielder sustained an ankle injury while on international duty in September.

The Norwegian CEO stated, “Everything indicates that things are progressing as planned. Then comes the final step: training with opponents and as a team. It depends on how he responds, but we have reason to believe he will be ready [to play next month].

“I’ve chatted with him quite frequently. It’s easier now that things are moving forward, but being injured is no fun. At the same time, he has just been slightly injured, therefore it is most likely an issue of training for him.

According to football.london, Arsenal have felt the absence of Martin Odegaard. It’s a shame the Gunners will be without their captain for the Liverpool game.”

Sagna encourages Arsenal to sign Pogba.

Bacary Sagna has pushed Arsenal to recruit Paul Pogba once his doping ban ends in the new year. The former Manchester United midfielder will be able to resume first-team training in January before being allowed to play competitive matches in March.

Sagna stated on talkSPORT, “It would be great – he has experience; he enjoys playing with young players around him – that is when he is most efficient.” He was most efficient at the 2018 World Cup, when he was surrounded by pals.

“Arsenal has a young, fresh squad, and I see him performing in an Arsenal shirt. He will receive adoration from their admirers. He can now start from scratch. He’s had a break from football, and he’ll return with a desire to get back into a good position and play football again.”

The website adds: “While I’d love to see Paul Pogba return to the Premier League, he’s been out of action for a long time so I doubt he’d live up to expectations.”
