Martin Ødegaard has said Arsenal players must not let their emotions get the better of them going into the final day of the Premier League season, where they will have a chance to end their 20-year drought for a league title.
Arsenal are two points behind leaders Manchester City going into Sunday’s final round of fixtures. The north London side must win to stay in contention, while City could lift their fourth title in a row if they beat West Ham United.

Arsenal’s hopes of ending their 20-year wait for the league title dwindled after City’s 2-0 win at Tottenham on Tuesday put Pep Guardiola’s side at an advantage.
“We spoke about it the day after [City went ahead],” Ødegaard told TNT Sports. “We have to focus on ourselves, we can’t get too emotional about it.
“We have one more game, at home, it’s the last game of the season and our goal and our task is clear, we have to win that.
“We’ll see what happens. That’s our mindset now, win that last game, give the fans a good last game and we’ll see. It’s out of our control, we just focus on our game.”
