Arsenal vs. Leeds: Surprise 4/1 Martin Odegaard odds to back for Premier League clash

Arsenal return to Premier League action at the Emirates Stadium to take on Leeds United at Saturday lunchtime.

The Gunners suffered their first defeat of the season before the long international break, a 3-0 loss at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Mikel Arteta will look to his senior players to bounce back on the pitch, with captain Martin Odegaard in especially good form.

The Norwegian made four assists in the Nations League, and will be aiming to help drive his team to victory in any way he can.

Arsenal vs. Leeds: Back Odegaard to score anytime at 4/1 (5.00)

Odegaard has been a player reborn this season, scoring four goals in all competitions for Arsenal including two in the Premier League.

Both of those were in home wins against Coventry City and Chelsea, so the midfielder will be aiming to continue that streak against Leeds.

Odegaard is 4/1 (5.00) to score anytime, ranking him the joint-10th most likely player from both sides to find the net.

That is surprising considering his record at the Emirates this season and how in-form he is heading into the game.

Arsenal vs. Leeds: Gunners 41/100 (1.41) favourites to win

Despite their setback against Brighton, Arsenal are 41/100 (1.41) favourites to win, and with home advantage, they should have most of the ball.

That would suit a player of Odegaard's quality, and while he will be looking to thread balls through to his teammates, he will also be aiming to get in the box and have goalscoring opportunities.

The Norwegian has also been on the winning side in all seven of his previous appearances against Leeds, so is usually influential in victories.

The Gunners also boast an excellent head-to-head record, winning the last eight meetings across all competitions.
