Arsenal press conference LIVE: Mikel Arteta on Fulham, Odegaard, Timber and Havertz injuries

Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of Arsenal's clash with Fulham at the Emirates Stadium as the Gunners look to gain a six-point lead over rivals Manchester City. There is reason for positivity after returning from Madrid with a strong result.

Arsenal earned a 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital, but there was plenty of controversy when both Ben White and Eberechi Eze were involved in opposing penalty incidents. Arteta was strong on his views, as was Declan Rice, who could face further retrospective action.

There is hope that team news updates will be provided, including on Martin Odegaard, who came off with knee pain against Atleti. Bukayo Saka could make his first start, while Riccardo Calafiori is also hoped to be involved, with still questions over Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber.
