‘The feeling of beating Liverpool is so powerful’ – Arteta on return to the top
Arsenal can make it three wins from three in their Europa League campaign as they travel to Norway to face Bodo/Glimt this evening. The Gunners sit top of group A with six points and four matches to play in the group stages.
Mikel Arteta’s side are in exceptional form and come into the game on the back of a 3-2 win over Liverpool in the Premier League. The manager has plenty of reasons to be optimistic, Arsenal are unbeaten in five matches and have scored at least three goals in each of the last four including a 3-0 victory over Bodo/Glimt last week.
For their part the Norwegian side have a win, a loss, and a draw from their three group fixtures so far and managed to heavily beat Roma – managed by Jose Mourinho – 6-1 in the Europa Conference League last year. They will prove to be trickier opponents on home soil but Arsenal should have enough quality to get the job done tonight.
Follow the action as Arsenal look to keep their Europa League winning streak going against Bodo/Glimt:
Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Arsenal
63 mins: Mikel Arteta thinks so too and he makes a couple of changes. Reiss Nelson and Bukayo Saka are hooked with Gabriel Martinelli and Granit Xhaka brought on.

Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Arsenal
60 mins: Chance! This move deserved a goal as a long diagonal comes into the box and gets chested down by Hugo Vetlesen who perfectly sets up Runar Espejord for a first time effort that he drills over the top.
These are nervous times for Arsenal.

Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Arsenal
57 mins: Close! The home side are getting closer. Ola Solbakken receives the ball on the right wing and drives it up to the box. The Gunners’ defenders drop away from him and he cuts onto his left foot before lacing a nice strike just a few inches over the crossbar!

Bodo/Glimt 0-1 Arsenal
54 mins: Save! Pellegrino is fed into space on the left side as Arsenal let their intensity levels drop. The forward carries the ball into the box but doesn’t look up and spot Solbakken at the back post waving his arms.
Instead he goes it alone and side-foots a decent effort over to the far corner but Matt Turner dives low and keeps it out with a strong hand!

48 mins: Shot! Arsenal sweep up the pitch with Nketiah laying the ball off to Odegaard who sends it over to Nelson on the left side. He cuts into the middle and hopes to curl a shot towards the far corner but spoons his effort well wide of the target.

Coming up at the conclusion of this game Manchester United take on Omonia Nicosia at Old Trafford.
United needed that win against Omonia last week and three points are a must again tonight if they are to keep the pressure on Group E leaders Real Sociedad.
