Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard expects the home support to be "on fire" today against Manchester City.
Odegaard admits with the international break to come, a win would be ideal.
He wrote in his match programme notes: "There are some changes to the City squad this season, but it's still a strong team like always. The quality, the experience they have it's a really well-drilled team and system. They have been with their manager for a long time now, so they all know the system really well.
"I think they have improved a lot defensively in the past few years, they look really solid. They are a bit more physical now as well compared to some years back, but still they have great quality on the ball as well. With Erling up front as well, they will always be dangerous. So it's a very strong team and it's a great challenge for us. It's a game we're really looking forward to, being here at our home, and knowing that you our supporters will be on fire for it.
"It's a huge game too when you look at the table. They lost last weekend, and it's obviously nice when the teams around you drop points, but it's much more important to focus on ourselves and what we can do. We don't want to look too much at what other teams are doing, because that's when you lose your focus.
"We go away on international break after today as well, and you always want to go with your country after getting a win for your club especially as I will be with Erling for the next week or so!"
