"Since Odegaard’s permanent arrival from Real Madrid in the summer of 2021, no pairing has been as consistently in-tune as the Norwegian as a right-sided No 8 and Saka on the right wing.

They rank first and second for passes made in the final third and chances created between two players for Arsenal. Saka has found his skipper 235 times, with Odegaard going the other way 195 times. Odegaard has created 22 chances for Saka, with the winger creating 18 chances in return — the highest combination of chances created between two players across the Premier League this season.

In the Premier League, Odegaard ranks first for chances created from open play (81), shot-creating actions (205), through balls (39) and passes into the penalty area (120), and second for total chances created (94), progressive passes (324) and expected assists (10.5). Saka ranks first for expected assists (10.7), third for chances created from open play (68), shot-creating actions (183) and passes into the penalty area (70), and fourth for total chances created (88)."
