On Wednesday, “little” Brentford will once again cause trouble for Arsenal. This time without Thomas Frank, the same without captain Christian Nørgaard. The latter wears the Arsenal shirt after the transfer in the summer. For the Dane, this has been a journey from status as a key player and supreme leader in the match arena, to bench players at the Premier League’s best club. Mikel Arteta still believes Nørgaard has strengthened Arsenal.
The former Brentford captain has played 382 minutes so far this season, just 108 minutes in the league he led Brentford to 10th place last season.

The Arsenal manager believes Nørgaard is still doing exactly what he was brought in for.
“What I saw on the pitch, and then everything I heard about him as a leader. The role he can fill, and the role he wanted here, The moment I picked up the phone and talked to him, he was super excited. He brings something to us that we don’t have in the squad, and I’m very happy to have him in the squad.
We predict Nørgaard will get playing time against his former club on Wednesday.
