Odegaard the deep thinker at Arsenal

He's thriving in new role

- Simon Collings

ARSENAL have rediscovered their spark in attack, and it is no surprise Martin Odegaard is back to his best at the same time.

The Norwegian has looked revitalised since the Gunners returned from their mid-season break to Dubai a month ago.

Arsenal have won all four of their games since then, scoring 16 goals in the process, and Odegaard has been at the heart of the revival.

The midfielder tormented West Ham last week, when Arsenal scored at least five times in a Premier League match for the second time this year.

They haven't done so in three League games in a calendar year since 2018.

Tomorrow's match at Burnley is as good a chance as any to do it again against Vincent Kompany's strugglers.

Burnley are seven points from safety and only Sheffield United, who are bottom, have conceded more goals this season.

Arsenal will be looking for their fifth straight win tomorrow. They trail leaders Liverpool by just two points, but the gap could be five by the time they kick-off at 3pm, given Jurgen Klopp's side play at Brentford in the day's early game.
