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.

      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Why you risked? He might not even start

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I like risk

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years

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

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

    10. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      ARS 2 - 3 NOR

      2 goals by Sanchez. 2 assists by Bellerin

      1. Aston-villain
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yes please

      2. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years

        Not this

      3. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years

        I'd like an Arsenal cleanie thankuverymuch

    11. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Giroud 14 game goal drought 😆

    12. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

    13. Albert_Luque
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 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
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        think you guys might do it now

    14. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

    15. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        But you still get a buzz when he scores

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Plenty of difference.

      3. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 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
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

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

      5. Aston-villain
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Sanchez looking lively!

    16. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Can't believe Jerome is starting

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 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
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah very possibly

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Who is your captain, Todd? Great job today.

    17. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Giroud will score

    18. Studgie G
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

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

    19. Ostrich Baby
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 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!
