"We discussed that," Mikel Arteta said when asked about Martin Odegaard's struggles. "To get to the level that they perform and our front players last season, that’s very difficult to see.
"It hasn’t happened in the Premier League, so we need to be conscious of that, but that’s about form, about putting him in better positions and doing things better in certain areas to help him to have the game that helps him to explore his qualities.
"They have played a lot of minutes and that’s a consequence of that."
Odegaard struggled to impress against Sevilla. The Norwegian has experienced a drop-off in form over the last few weeks.
Odegaard was our standout performer last season but has been unable to carry his performances into the current campaign, with questions now being asked over his continued place in the side.
However, from the look of things, it appears that our manager will keep faith in Odegaard as our skipper and start him against Sheffield United.
