Harry Kane has always relished his duels with Arsenal, but he has never faced a Gunners’ defense as mean as this. Arsenal has conceded only four times in their past 11 league games, and the centre half partnership of William Saliba and Gabriel Maghaeles are brimming with confidence, marking their 19th clean sheet of the season in all competitions. Odegaard acknowledges Kane’s skill but also emphasizes the focus on their own team’s quality and not fearing anyone.

He recognizes Arsenal’s strength as a team with good individual players and anticipates a tough battle. The Germany international, Kane, scored for the fifth time in seven games, showcasing some sublime link-up play. Odegaard praises his quality and contribution to the team, not just with goals and assists but also in the general play.

Odegaard also commends the new players who joined this season, emphasizing their improvement and the positive impact they have brought to the team.
