Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira on Martin Odegaard being injured for the Gunners: “Ødegaard is a major loss for Arsenal. He’s not just the captain of the team, he’s the leader on the field, the technical leader on the field.

“When he is on the field, players around him feel more comfortable, as well. He’s the one who dictates the tempo of Arsenal and he’s the one who brings this kind of technical ability, this quality in the last 30 yards to create something.

“But, again, if you want to go until the end, players have to take more responsibility and players have to take on a bit more and we will see what will happen.”

3.即使当米克尔·阿尔特塔还在为曼城工作时，他也从未庆祝过对阿森纳的进球。他在阿森纳不仅仅是教练，他与这家俱乐部还有着深厚的情感联系。

Even while he was working for Manchester City, Mikel Arteta NEVER celebrated goals against Arsenal. He’s more than just a manager here, it’s the club he’s got an emotional attachment with.

4.佩普·瓜迪奥拉说：“阿森纳每年都在变得更好，这是因为他们在阵容深度上投入了很多。”

“增加球员，提升阵容深度，引进更多顶级球员。”

“如果我说些什么，他们会说我在打心理战或类似的东西；但我对他们的评价真的很高。”

Pep Guardiola: "Year by year Arsenal get better, it's because they invest a lot in a deep squad".

"The depth of squad, adding more players, top quality".

"If I say something, they will say I am playing mind games or something like that; but I've high opinion about them".

5.伊尔凯·京多安对米克尔·阿尔特塔在阿森纳的成功并不感到惊讶：“米克尔是一个非常聪明的人，他真正知道自己想要什么，以及为了达到某些目标必须做什么。

“当我遇到他时，我就很清楚他会走这条路。所以他现在在阿森纳做得这么好，他们踢出了如此高水平的足球，我并不感到惊讶。

“佩普（瓜迪奥拉）的影响显然是非常大的，因为米克尔和佩普一起工作了很多年。这就是为什么他们的比赛风格非常相似。这也是为什么这场比赛可能比其他比赛更有趣。

“他确实做得很好，而且几天前他刚刚续约了合同。所以他将在阿森纳再待几年，我相信他们未来几年都会是冠军的有力争夺者。

“如果未来我能像米克尔一样走上相似的道路，那将是我的幸运。”

İlkay Gündoğan is not surprised by Mikel Arteta’s success at #Arsenal: “Mikel is a very smart person who really knows what he wants and what he has to do to achieve certain things.

“It was clear to me when I met him that this was the path he would take. I’m not surprised that he’s doing so well with Arsenal and that they play football at such a high level.

“Pep’s influence is obviously very big because Mikel worked with Pep for a number of years. That’s why their style of play is very similar. That’s why this duel is perhaps more interesting than other duels.

“He’s really doing a great job and just extended his contract a few days ago. So he’ll stay with Arsenal for a few more years and I’m sure they’ll be in contention for titles in the years to come.

“If I could follow a similar path to Mikel in the future, that would be a stroke of luck.”

6.里奥·费迪南德谈当前的阿森纳：“阿森纳现在非常坚决。无论主场还是客场，他们都是一支难以对付的球队，这是对手球员所不愿面对的。其他球队都在看着阿森纳，心想，‘我宁愿避开这场比赛’。”

Rio Ferdinand on the current #Arsenal team: “Arsenal are resolute now. They are a team that are hard to play against, home or away, and that is not what you want as an opposition player. They are a team that other teams are looking at and thinking, ‘I’d rather give that one a miss.”

7.加里·内维尔说：“如果这支出色的阿森纳队没有赢得英超冠军或欧冠冠军，那么他们就可以忘记在历史上留下印记了。这很苛刻，但这就是精英体育的现实。没有人会深情地回忆起威廉·萨利巴和加布里埃尔在后场的辉煌，马丁·厄德高和德克兰·赖斯的才华横溢，大卫·拉亚的非凡扑救，或者布卡约·萨卡在前场的犀利突破。不会有Netflix的纪录片。他们永远不会受到赞誉或钦佩。他们只会被视为接近成功但未能成功的人。

“历史对那些功亏一篑的人毫不留情。因此，尽管他们在过去两年里做了出色的工作，但仍然还有一步要走。赛季才刚刚开始，我们现在就把周日与曼城在伊蒂哈德球场的对决描述为冠军争夺战还为时过早。然而，阿森纳需要一场决定性的胜利，因为他们需要打击曼城，并向自己证明他们是当下的最佳球队。”

Gary Neville: “If this superb #Arsenal team doesn’t win the Premier League or the Champions League then they can forget about going down in history. That’s harsh but the reality of elite sport. No one will fondly recall the magnificence of William Saliba and Gabriel at the back, the brilliance of Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice, David Raya’s extraordinary saves or the incision of Bukayo Saka up front. There will be no Netflix documentaries. They will never be feted or admired. They will be dismissed as nearly men.

"History is unforgiving of those who fall just short. And that’s why, for all the excellent work they’ve done in the past two years, there is still a step to take. We’re too early in the season to describe Sunday’s clash with Manchester City at the Etihad as a title decider. Yet Arsenal need a statement win because they need to damage Manchester City and to demonstrate to themselves that they are the team of the moment."
