With their 22 point advantage in the league table, Arsenal fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Norwich City.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Arsenal and Norwich City.
Arsenal form and stats
Overall Premier League stats at home this season for Arsenal are 7-5-3 (wins-draw-losses). There’s a good atmosphere here at Emirates Stadium after three straight home wins.
Arsenal enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Sheffield United's place. The match ended 2-1 with Nicolas Pépé and Dani Ceballos scoring. Before that match, a Premier League win away at Southampton.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of M. Arteta Amatriain when Dani Ceballos scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 67th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Dani Ceballos scored the winning goal one minutes into stoppage time.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Arsenal as they are travelling to their away game against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. That match is three days after this one.
A decent goal production from Arsenal in their home games so far, with 26 goals from 15 league matches. Arsenal have conceded 20 in these home matches.
Norwich City form and stats
Norwich City have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-3-11 (15 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Norwich as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Leicester City match. Norwich seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Norwich are looking to quickly end their 290 minutes long goal drought in the Premier League.
Norwich failed to get anything from their last game, a FA Cup home match vs Manchester United (after extra-time) (placed 6th) that ended with defeat 1-2. A loss against Everton was the result prior to that, in a Premier League home game.
It's a bit worrying for Norwich that their goalkeeper Tim Krul made six saves in the Manchester United (after extra-time) game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
After this away game Norwich return home for a Premier League game against Brighton & Hove Albion. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Goals are few and far between in Norwich's away league games. Only 6 goals from 15 travels. Norwich's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 26 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Norwich City - Arsenal 2-2, played this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Arsenal won six games, three matches ended with a draw and Norwich City has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / fourTop Goalscorers
