🗣 Martin Ødegaard: "This is a massive game for us to finish up the year, and we're all really looking forward to this one. We played Aston Villa a few weeks ago, of course, and it’s unusual to play a team twice so close together in the league. It feels more like a two-legged Champions League or cup tie, so this gives us a good chance to face them again soon after the defeat at Villa Park. We can use that as motivation.
We know the quality they have, and we saw that in the first game. Going forward, they are very dangerous, and when they win the ball back, they look to counter quickly. They are a really well-coached team, organised and good on the ball, so it’s a tough game for sure. We feel like we could have won that away game, and now we’ve got the opportunity to show that tonight."
