The Gunners were out for blood after suffering a discouraging 2–0 defeat on the same field the previous season.

The two teams squared off at the Emirates Stadium earlier this season in a very contentious game that saw decisions go against the home team and ultimately conclude in a scoreless draw.

Arsenal now has a solid lead over Manchester City, who currently leads with a point and a game remaining.

Arsenal secured a victory with a goal from skipper Odegaard and an own goal from Fabian Schar.
