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.

        Was thinking something along the lines of ACCA - ManU or Draw and HT MCI or SOU totals to 2.07 with a 100e bet if i fail on Lei i am 100e down. Than bet on MCI HT win and another bet on SOU HT win for 200e each. Thats 500e total and if any of those come through i will earn 100e or so since odds are over 3.2 to return 660e.

          It sounds okay. But i think you could make more money out of that. Takes a little bit more planning imo. But I would definitely not bet on City game until you see the outcome of Leicester game. No need to waste money, you'll have plenty of time to bet on City game after.

          Lay about £70 on Leic to win at odds of 4.0.

          If Leicester lose = £70 profit.

          If Leicester win, Lay about £280 on City to be drawing at HT at odds of 2.4

          This guarantees about £70 either way. Obviously you'd have to change it for euros.

      -if you're considering cashing out you will need to check with your bookies if they offered that facility on this wager
      -if you are talking about 'laying off'-ie covering yourself so you make money if the acca comes in or not you would have to consider a number of betting doubles-leic to loose+leic to draw+MCI not to be drawing at HT-odds would need to be sought on these
      -sell your betting slip to a friend who feels lucky.

      Just choose yourself.

      Everyone would have told you Sanchez this week.

    Budgets are so bizarre this year.

    I am looking at Hart, Otamendi, and one of Aguero/Sanchez on the bench for a DGW. Probably going to be close to 30m.

    Too quick to change to Ighalo, not Deeney though :-(.

      Not really. People went for Deeney, Townsend, Defoe, Noble etc. and did well.

    61 with Kane aguero and smalling to play! Really chuffed apart from Sanchez (C). Gained 30 on my main rival! Only 70 behind now (was 150 after Gw33)

      You should be really chuffed regardless. It's a good score no matter how you got to it.
