Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Norwich

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.

      He's been red hot lately, and home to a weak club, yet one battling relegation. I think that this game had some high potential for Alexis.

          Can't argue with his pattern of scoring this year. That's accurate. We were all hoping for such a burst today. It was not a far fetched notion, IMO.

            Looks good on paper. I mean I captained him myself. Aguero will no doubt be as reliable as ever tomorrow though.
