Mikel Arteta hails the ‘exceptional’ Eberechi Eze and the impact he’s had on Martin Odegaard’s form this season. The Arsenal boss was full of praise for Eze despite not using him at all in the last four matches.

He’s that good as a footballer he can occupy any space. 05:38 - Liverpool game irritate you?: It’s normal. It’s where we work. People can have different opinions. We know their physical states. We have the information and you don’t. 06:54 - Spreading goals: we want the goals spread and our striker scoring over 20, that’s the ideal scenario. 07:17 - Gyokeres close to scoring run?: better not to talk too much. The quality of player around them, they could go on a 10 game scoring streak. It’s normal. 07:39 - Competition to push him?: We’re not going to change his desire and work rate. It will be about the
