Saturday’s late-afternoon clash finds Arsenal playing host to Norwich City at the Emirates. The Gunners tasted just one victory in their previous quartet of fixtures, while the Canaries will strive to rebound from successive defeats.

Arsenal’s attack has recorded middling stats over their last four outings, ranking ninth for goals (six) and joint-12th for big chances (four). It’s also worth noting that the Gunners place ninth for goals scored in home fixtures (26). On a more positive note, Arsene Wenger’s troops have conceded the second-fewest goals (11) and third-fewest big chances (18) on home soil, underlining their strong clean-sheet potential.

Norwich failed to net in their last two league ties and have struggled to exert their attacking influence away from home this term, ranking joint-third-bottom for goals (13), joint-second-bottom for big chances (12) and third-bottom for shots on target (51). Equally, Arsenal will be buoyed in the knowledge that the Canaries place fourth for goals conceded (33) and joint-top for big chances conceded (40) in road encounters.

    1. FPL Daniel
      10 years, 6 months ago

      He'll explode. Casuals have him. My rival (Darlow owner of course) owns him too

  10. Piggs Boson
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero(C) here. Watching Alexis is going to be tough...

    1. FPL Daniel
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Why you risked? He might not even start

      1. Piggs Boson
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I like risk

        1. FPL Daniel
          10 years, 6 months ago

  11. Clump

  12. Numb
    10 years, 6 months ago

    1. FPL Daniel
      10 years, 6 months ago

  16. BigManBakar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Massive day for us FFS'ers! 😀

  17. CHANCING PUNT
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Much chance of Townsend and Defoe getting 3 bonus rather than 2?

  18. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 6 months ago

    ARSEnal!!! 😀

    2. Zizoulicious

  19. FudgyBadger
    10 years, 6 months ago

    0-0 plss

  20. Aston-villain
    10 years, 6 months ago

    This gweek should be titled "revenge of the wildcard flops"

  21. Dušan Citizen
    10 years, 6 months ago

    ARS 2 - 3 NOR

    2 goals by Sanchez. 2 assists by Bellerin

    1. Aston-villain
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yes please

    2. Eden Hazardous
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Not this

    3. Yank Revolution
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'd like an Arsenal cleanie thankuverymuch

  22. Acquafresca
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Giroud 14 game goal drought 😆

  23. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Any chance Hart will be rested for UCL semi final. I have Darlow on bench.

  24. Albert_Luque
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Had Darlow in my team, and may have kept us up with that save. Happy days.

    Still feels like a coin toss in terms of who stays up, but I'll take that over our position a few weeks ago (6 points from safety). Villa and Spurs next, come on the Mags!

    1. Studgie G
      10 years, 6 months ago

      think you guys might do it now

  25. Sjaugen
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Do we need to boo at 14th etc on here as well?

  26. Numb
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Don't think Sanchez makes much difference here as everyone has him captain

    1. Syd.
      10 years, 6 months ago

      But you still get a buzz when he scores

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Plenty of difference.

    3. Yank Revolution
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty much yeah. But a blank would mean a lot of movement from Aguero cappers if he plays and comes good.

    4. LÖrKingMuch
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Özil could be a nice differential now his ownership is low.

    5. Aston-villain
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez looking lively!

  27. Give The Todd Some Love
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Can't believe Jerome is starting

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      10 years, 6 months ago

      i think he's resting his better striking duo for more winnable matches at home next week

      i hope

      1. Give The Todd Some Love
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah very possibly

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Who is your captain, Todd? Great job today.

  28. FPL Daniel
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Giroud will score

  29. Studgie G
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Benching Darlow hurts though only reason was because I bought Mannone in this gwk

  30. Ostrich Baby
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Love this game. One minute right annoyed at benching Darlow and a dud Defoe captaincy. The next realising that Robles was benched and then Defoe scores!
