Arsenal wrap up a gruelling week on the road with a third straight away game when they face champions Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday and manager Mikel Arteta said his squad had been preparing for the clash since pre-season.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says he does not know the timescale of Martin Odegaard's injury. The midfielder has been out for the Gunners since the international break, missing the north London derby win over Tottenham last weekend and the 0-0 midweek Champions League draw with Atalanta.

Mikel Arteta's team went direct against Serie A's tallest team - they will need to find more solutions in their search for silverware

Arsenal began its Champions League campaign with a goalless draw and just one point against Europa League champion Atalanta. Mikel Arteta brought Gabriel Jesus into the side with Kai Havertz dropping down into midfield.

Arsenal's goalkeeper David Raya was the hero on a dull night in Bergamo, making a brilliant save from a penalty to ensure the Gunners left Atalanta with a point.
