Catch all the latest Arsenal news, including updates on Martin Odegaard, Alexander Isak and Bukayo Saka.
Arsenal took on Chelsea over the weekend in a huge London derby at the Emirates Stadium, with three points and bragging rights on the line.
It was the Gunners who took it all as Mikel Merino headed in another goal as a make-shift centre-forward, scoring from a set-piece.
Following that big win, Arsenal have over two weeks out of action as the March international break is now in full swing.
So with that said, here’s a look at the latest Arsenal news ahead of another busy day.
Martin Odegaard make Arsenal history against Chelsea
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard made history once again as he helped the side register a win over rivals Chelsea.
The Norway international provided the assist for Merino’s header from a corner, putting in a perfect delivery for the goal.
It was an assist that saw Odegaard leapfrog Freddie Ljungberg in the charts – registering his 27th, now one more than the Arsenal legend.
The skipper also picked up his fifth assist against Chelsea, overtaking Cesc Fabregas (four) and Dennis Bergkamp (four) with their personal tallies against the Blues.

Positive Bukayo Saka injury update
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has provided a positive injury update on the fitness of Bukayo Saka, following the victory over Chelsea.
The winger has been out of action since mid-December, having torn his hamstring in the side’s win against Crystal Palace.
Surgery was required, with a long lay-off expected for the star as he looked to build up his fitness once again.
Fortunately, though, the end of that spell out is coming towards an end, with the international break providing a timely break for a return.
When asked about whether Saka could come back after the break, Arteta told Sky Sports: “He has a good chance, yes.”

By scoring, the striker managed to beat Thierry Henry’s record of not scoring in a cup final, the one thing the Arsenal legend truly struggled with.
