Why Arsenal’s title hopes rest on Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka’s telepathic partnership
A consequence of Odegaard and Saka’s excellence is that Arsenal’s attacking play is often weighted towards their side of the pitch. Saka stays wide on that flank, while Odegaard is usually based next to him. Against Forest this weekend, 51 per cent of Arsenal’s attacks came down the right wing, compared to just 24 per cent on the left.
