Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard predicted a tough match against Bournemouth

Despite being at the two polar opposite ends of the Premier League table, Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard predicted that the Gunners would face a stern test against Bournemouth.

Odegaard claimed that the Cheers are currently battling for survival from relegation and are approaching every match with intensity. The clash at the Emirates showed that the Norwegian attacking midfielder was spot on in his prediction.

The former Real Madrid midfielder wrote in his program notes (via the Gunners' official website):

"Like Everton they are fighting for every single point near the bottom of the table. They will set up well and will make it difficult for us. They are coming to the team that’s top of the table, so that will give them motivation as well and we have to expect a difficult game."

Arsenal will return to action on March 9 as they take on Sporting CP away in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League.
