**Martin Odegaard**looked ahead to the visit of **Liverpool**in his programme notes.
The **Arsenal**captain continues to embrace the challenge of fighting on multiple fronts for trophies, and as his side sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League, they can make another statement.
“I know that the atmosphere is going to be brilliant again tonight – these are the ones you really look forward to. It’s always special to have these evening games at home against the big clubs. We’ll be ready and I know all of you inside the stadium will be ready too.
“We can still remember the disappointment from losing late on against Liverpool at Anfield earlier in the season. It was a tough one to take at that stage of the season but the only thing you can do is move on and make sure you learn from it. We’ve been really consistent and strong in our performances since then, and now we have the chance to beat them at home and get the three points.
*“We know they are a good team, even if they haven’t always performed this year like they did last season. Their squad is full of quality players, all very good on the ball, so it’s going to be another big test for us. Let’s make sure we are ready for it and carry on like we played against Aston Villa.*
“That was a strong performance, against a team that is always tough to play against. We spoke beforehand about using the opportunity we had to play them again so soon after they had beaten us.
“We wanted to go on the pitch and show how much we wanted the win and we did that, especially in the second half. It was good to follow it up at Bournemouth on Saturday with another strong performance.
“After tonight, we have got four away games in four competitions, which we are all looking forward to. We want to be fighting on all fronts. To be honest though that doesn’t change our mindset.
“We want to win every game, we’re used to travelling and we know the schedule. It’s just about being focused, to be really good at recovery, treating the body and treating the mind. Let’s take this period coming up as another test for us as a group, as a team – it’s a good challenge to have.”
